Exactly. Why would Gay Boy Scouts have loyalty to an organization that will toss them out when they are adults? That policy would be challenged immediately, and would be changed.
This proposal is tantamount to giving up the fight.
And that stinks.
BTW, I think this is the day in the public schools where some kids put tape on their mouths and refuse to speak in class, as a political protest against intolerance of gays. I’m not expecting this at my kids’ schools, but there are other public schools in our area where kids are participating.
Cannot vouch for them.
we need an alternate scouting movement that sticks with its moral and ethical principles
NO ADULT GAY LEADERS
He was probably panting uncontrollably while saying those words, thinking it's all.... soooooo... close....now.
The titular head of the Boy Scouts is a queer.
Barak Q. Obama.
Didn’t happen in my kid’s school either.
I agree but I think it needs to be imphasized that it’s not a done deal yet. All this guy is saying is that they are going to vote on the proposal. There is no indication that the votes will go the “gay” way.
My two boys earned the rank of Eagle Scout and I spent a better part of about 12 years holding various adult positions in my boys pack and troop. If the votes do go the ‘gay’ way, it will be the death knell of Boy Scouts in my area.
I’m sure the National Council is getting pressure from some of their deep pocket contributers to allow homosexuality, but the National has to decide if they respect God and His honor code or if they respect mammon more.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Presumably all Scouts will continue to be exptected to be celibate throughout their time in the program, unless they are married. That’s what “morally straight” means.
1 Corinthians 15:33 “Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
The little queers will corrupt the other children.
We see what has happened to churches which make themselves a welcome “home” for the unsaved—they become dens of iniquity. Churches are for believers. Believers should give the gospel to the unsaved, get them saved, then invite them to church.
The Boy Scouts should be for “morally straight” boys, not for boys “in transition.” The little queers should be converted to straight (if that is even possible) and only then permitted in. Not the other way around.
OK I have been waiting for several hours to access a “freepable” computer.
Now I’ve got all frustrated reading about this, I’ll probably make a mess of my thoughts. So I’ll keep it simple so if it’s silly to read at least there’s not a whole lot there.
Here goes:
“NO!”.
Thanks. With all regards, BSA Life Scout.
I agree 100%.
I am not active in scouting anymore, but I am a strong supporter.
This is a nonsensical, brainless bunch of nonsense.
The Boy Scouts are one of the only remaining organizations one can be proud of.
DON’T MESS WITH IT.
At all.
See #23.
Well, it takes out an important aspect of “morally straight.”
Also, it lends itself to homo. scouts growing up and saying, why can’t I be a leader? and here we go again.
Also the idea of a 17 year old homo. scout camping with some 14 year old potential playmates is disturbing. Boys have bullying tendencies often. Add sexual perversity into the mix and it gets worse.
There are some good organizations, such as Boys’ Brigade, and I can’t remember the names of the others.
Not as high profile as the Boy Scouts, but, if enough people join and support them, they will be.
Actually, I see the thought process here. The danger is from adult males who prey on the youngsters, not the boys themselves. Clearly there is huge pressure to include everyone.
The problem comes from the definition of morally straight. Now gay boys can consider their "feelings" to be morally straight. Unless the BSA is not going to amend that part, just let the gay boys in and have them suffer with not being in line with the scout teaching.
It was much maligned, but there is a huge amount of wisdom in the military's former "don't ask, don't tell." It let you keep your gayness private and prohibited anyone from asking. The scouts would be advised to allow such for the boys, not for the men.
