This is an excellent essay on this troubling development involving the Boy Scouts of America. Every peril for following this road is presented and supported.

The contact info for the Chief Executive is if provided. Please burn up his phone line and email!

Just considering is enough for me to say “SO LONG!”

I have had a monthly electronic donation to the Scouts for 30 years. Today it stops.

The BSA will soon announce the introduction of the Cornhole Merit Badge.

Well, the Left has been after the Scouts since inception.

They were patient. They finally won through generational infiltration and propagandization.

I hope they're happy.

Who would be in favor of continuing scouting. Not me. Time for it to end if it cannot have it’s own reason for existing.

Any rules in the natioal level with the BSA could never be enforced as local Cub Scout packs and Boy Scout troops could prevent gays from joining the packs and troops.

I have been wondering how long the Scouts would hold out before caving. They are are very dependent on big money, and the big money guys are going with the flow. The same sort who support liberal Republicans.

This is not a done deal yet and can be stopped with enough pressure from our side. Along with stopping this nonsense, also call for the immediate resignation of the Ernst & Young CEO Jim Turley and AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson from the BSA board. They are on record of making statements of changing the policy from within after it failed to pass last July.

Yeah, right. They are going to allow "individual councils" to decide whether to admit gays or not, asserting that those councils who choose not to will be able to keep gays away from their young boys. Except......what happens when boys and leaders from different councils are TOGETHER at the various scout camps for "multi-council" activities??? Guess what, the "non-gay-allowing" councils youths will be in direct contact with "gay allowing" councils.

Guaranteed to destroy the Boy Scouts. Let the queers go off and form their own organization of "Gay Scouts".

The Boy Scouts will likely have the same experience as the ELCA Lutherans did when they opened their clergy to the openly gay. The gay clergy issue fractured the denomination with many congregations breaking away and others so divided that donations dropped. I expect that many Boy Scout troops will break away to form their own gay free groups and overall participation and donations to scouting will drop.

NAMBLA will be setting up its own troop.

I am a proud mother of an Eagle Scout. I would prefer that the BSA dissolve itself now than to sell itself out to the gods of political correctness. This is dishonoring to my son and other Eagle Scouts who have adhered fully to the scout law. Apparently, the BSA powers that be find it too hard to do that themselves.

This development breaks my heart.

Just sent my note...

To: Wayne.Brock@Scouting.org
Just Say NO to Homosexual Scouting

If you do what you are contemplating, my decades long electronic monthly donations to the Boy Scouts of America in California will cease. I won’t be alone in that, by any means.

Perhaps the destruction of the BSA is precisely your intent. If so, then well played.

If not, then you need to continue to work to keep the pederasts away from our boys, and back away from this NAMBLA inspired wet dream of your board members.

Frosty regards,
Easy Street

Pinging both lists, since the Boy Scouts have been standing up for moral principles for decades and helping boys grow up to be good men. Now the evil worm has entered the BSA and as noted, the individual councils will be childs' play for homo activists to take to court and destroy. This is extremely discouraging news. The fight against the homo agenda should have been fought with vigor decades ago, but people who should have known better were silent for too long.

Anyone wanting on/off the ping lists please freepmail me until further notice.
