The Boy Scouts of America's stance of not allowing openly gay people to serve as troop leaders or members has inspired several Eagle Scouts to return their hard-earned medals and renounce their membership.

Exactly! The article includes the name of just ONE scout who returned his medals. Big deal.

Never trust a liberal dingbat with a hyphenated last name....especially when she delivers lectures on "The Neurobiology of Octopuses".

Yo smart Eagle Scout. The policy hasn’t changed since you were in Scouts.

The BSA needs a ZOT Moderator like we got here on FR.

Ditto that. The BSA is far better-off without such lowlifes, deviants, perverts and subhumans. Go join your NAMBLA dirtbag fudge-packing buddies, boys.

I’m so sick ‘n tired of the gay agenda being showed down our throats....it’s going to be a long battle for the BSA. Hope they don’t cave like the military. The purpose to emasculate boys/men is hideous. I pray for the scouts.

Spokesman Smith responded: “Scouting represents millions of youth and adult members in diverse communities across the nation, each with a variety of beliefs about this issue. While a majority of our membership agrees with our policy, no single policy will accommodate the many diverse views among our membership or society. Although we are disappointed to learn of anyone who feels compelled to return his Eagle rank, we fully understand and appreciate that not everyone will agree with any one position or policy.”

In other words, FU and your three named wife!

I have found most Eagle Scouts to be liberals. They seem to have crossed from scouting as a means of helping people to the altruism of liberalism. Sodomy of boys is not what I would consider a Scout value but they do.

Male on male anal buggery isn’t morally straight.

It sure as heck isn't clean.

Speaking as an ex-Boy Scout to Mr. Baker: GOOD RIDDANCE!!! The fact is thousands of homosexuals assuredly have been Boy Scouts. I know a cousin who was one. But nobody knew he was, because he didn’t announce it to the world. Why any organization like the Boy Scouts would need people who want to proclaim their homosexuality is beyond me.

Let me see . . .

I haven’t returned my Eagle Scout badge (earned in 1973).

My sons haven’t returned their Eagle Scout badges (earned in 2007 and 2010, respectively).

The various young men I’ve mentored to the Eagle rank over the years (too numerous to list) haven’t advised me that they’re returning their Eagle Scout badges.

This is a BS story.

ANY Eagle Scout who agrees with and follows the homosexual agenda is NOT an Eagle Scout.

Good! Sounds like he “earned” them under false pretenses. It has always been my understanding that character counts for the BSA. Having character involves being morally consistent, not being morally ambiguous.

Christopher Baker sounds like he would willingly be one of Jerry's Kids.

Jerry Sandusky that is.

It’s the Boy Scouts not the Boy Skirts.

Sounds like they either used t be normal, or covered up their proclivities while scouts. (Or maybe never got the ‘Reading’ merit badge)

Trustworthy? Nope
Loyal? Nope
Clean? Not likely...
