Will the Boy Scouts surrender their HONOR like Obama wants?

Send this URGENT alert to all your friends.

The anti-family movement is pressuring the Boy Scouts to surrender. To give up their honor.  To accept unnatural behavior -- sin -- and abandon their morally sound membership policy which bars open homosexuals from holding leadership positions.

According to a recent statement by Deron Smith, director of Boy Scouts public relations, “... the BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation. This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation..."


The proposed policy shift would place the moral welfare of 2.7 million boys involved in the institution at risk.

Top leaders of the Boy Scouts will meet on Wednesday to make a final decision -- to surrender on principles or stand strong.  

With all urgency, please sign your online petition here.  Urge the Scouts to stand strong.

Please consider taking these additional actions:

1. Write a Facebook post

Tell the Boy Scouts to stand strong by posting a message on their facebook page here. For example: For God and country, do what is right.  Boys need moral and virtuous leaders. Stand firm on moral principles.  Don't let the homosexual movement bully you.

2. Tweet this message

Post the following tweet:
To the @BoyScouts: Don't give up your honor. Don't change. Keep your moral policy as is.  #BoyScouts  http://dld.bz/cdhfH @tfpsa

3. Send a personal email

You can also send a personal email to the following email addresses:
-- Mr. Wayne Brock, Chief Boy Scouts Executive
Wayne.Brock@Scouting.org, feedback@scouting.org, nationalsupportcenter@scouting.org

4. Make some calls

Contact the board members who will be casting their votes on the issue directly.
Ask them to vote AGAINST any policy change that would allow open homosexuals to lead young, impressionable boys.

If the BSA does this, it will be the end of the BSA. NO rational parent will put there son at risk. Period. And NO ONE who supports the BSA for their moral courage, will not donate any longer.

Yup, they do this and I pull my son and my money and my time. Period. I went to our regional office in Golden Valley MN and told them so in person.

The church our group uses for meetings has already told us if the national group does this we are no longer welcome in their building.

I suspect many churches will do the same.

What a sad time. I fully expect the cowardly morons on the BSA board to vote to implement this new unworkable policy. I don’t think they will care one little bit about all of our calls, emails and everything else. Shortly thereafter we will see the Mormons, Catholics and Southern Baptists drop all of their troops. That represents about a million boys out of something like 2.7 million. Another fine American institution ruined.

I think a lot of the camps used by the Boy Scouts are owned by churches. I know my church owns a number of them. The BSA will lose access to at least some of these facilities as well.

Tony Perkins said today that 67% of Boys Scout troups
are sponsored by churches. If they let the sodomites in it will kill the BSA, and of course that’s exactly what the leftists bastards want. And since Pee Wee said he wants fags in the BSA and women taking a bullet for him, I guess it’s OK, dokey. The Marxist is a chickenshyt sodomite loving (ask Larry Sinclair why), who is trying everything in his power to destroy what is morale and sacred in this country. The socialist, marxist, sorry piece of human cow manure.

Pretty obviously, the gays intended to destroy the Scouts as an effective organization. What’s next? Football?

I expect out church to have a problem as well. I will fight this any way I can. I will look for a local gun club / NRA group to sponsor us. And advertise as the non gay / non atheist troop.

This will hurt a number of church-sponsored Boy Scout groups because of what the national BSA does.

The Girl Scouts have already been taken over by radical lesbians and if you buy their cookies you are paying for abortions. The first thing the BSA should do is not let that Obama supporting CEO of AT&T take control of their organization. He’s the SOB pushing this agenda. No one else.

All I can say is that it is a sorry state of affairs wrt children and historical American values.

The Boy Scout's time has passed. Most of the camps I went to as a kid are now sold off and developed. The best parts of Indian Lore are trashed. No one wants to be a rugged individualist and to "Be Prepared".

Very Sad.

I have a 10 year old who wants to be an Eagle scout
I see the older kids helping and teaching the cub scouts knife safety and how to start a fire
I feel bad for the older kids who must have heardxabout this by now
The sick evil degenerate spawn of Satan in the WH wants to destroy the Boy Scouts
This is a declaration of war by the satanic forces in DC against judeo-christian morality
THEY ARE COMING FOR OUR KIDS

If we are not governed by Godly-men this is what happens. The Founding Fathers said as much. The Marxist in Chief is not a Christian and could care less about Christians morals and values. Everything he has done so far to try and eliminate Christ from our life is right out of the communist manifesto. Anyone that voted this anti-God, America-hating creep back into office needs their head examined. Four more years of this character and this country will look just like any other European socialist, athiest country and that is exactly his goal.

I'm warning all that if this passes I will be taking a media blackout, much the way I did when 0 was elected this time around. This is a big year for some of my grandson's in Scouting. One was just elected to the OA. I have another grandson ready to cross over and another grandson who's one merit badge and one project away from Eagle. I don't know whether to throw up or cry.
