Anyone can wear the uniform.

I’ve been searching for the National policy on line, but can’t find it. I’m either using the wrong search terms or it’s not out there. I get lots of pro-homo links though. Try http://www.scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx Youth Protection Reporting Procedures for Volunteers There are two types of Youth Protection–related reporting procedures all volunteers must follow: ■When you witness or suspect any child has been abused or neglected—See "Mandatory Report of Child Abuse" below. ■When you witness a violation of the BSA's Youth Protection policies—See "Reporting Violations of BSA Youth Protection Policies" below.

Research has shown that given the low percentage of homosexuals in this country they account for a far larger share of the child sexual abuse than their numbers should indicate.

The only conclusion is that children are more likely to be sexually abused by homosexuals.

Thanks, what I meant to say is that I was looking for the policy on how to report known homosexuals in the BSA.

I did some searching when a local politician who was publicly gay listed scoutmaster on his resume.

So far as I can tell, nothing on the scout leadership form explicitly asks the question about sexuality. It does require a signature affirming you will follow the policies, and the policies is no gays, but if you are willing to lie, and nobody reports you, the BSA appears to take a “don’t ask, don’t tell” approach.

Kind of frustrating isn’t it? They tap dance around the topic using words like “morals”, “character”, etc. Yet, for the queers, those traits are interpreted differently. “Those words, they do not mean what you think they mean.”

From the adult application:
Leadership Requirements
The applicant must possess the moral, educational, and emotional qualities that the Boy Scouts of America deems necessary to afford positive leadership to youth. The applicant must also be the correct age, subscribe to the precepts of the Declaration of Religious Principle, and abide by the Scout Oath or Promise, and the Scout Law.

Question 6e. on the application:
Other than the above, is there any
fact or circumstance involving you
or your background that would call
into question your being entrusted
with the supervision, guidance, and
care of young people?

So, yes, I do believe they are exercising the DADT approach and only act when forced to.
