Guess the Boy Scout Motto has to be changed .... pronto.
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.

Good question. It appears the queer lovers tried to strike a middle ground.
How can a queer take a vow to keep his body “morally straight?”
The last paragraph is interesting. Shows how far BSA has fallen in just a few years. This is the fault of the board of directors.

It’ll be ok as long as no one drops the soap.

Now that the Boy Scouts have committed suicide, we need to start a new nondenominational, nonpartisan organization for boys that will prepare them for adulthood and instill in them the moral standards that the BSA once did.
To: upchuck
Yep... If this proposal goes through, the Boy Scouts are dead to me.
It was a good, wholesome run.

"By refusing to consider an end to its ban on gay and lesbian parents, the Boy Scouts have missed an opportunity to exercise leadership and usher the organization back to relevancy," If they are so irrelevant, why do you want to be a part of it? Answer that, Nancy Boy.

So, gay-sex with boy scouts will be OK when exactly?
16th B-day? 18th B-day?
The Boy Scout Mgmt is digging themselves a giant whole in which they intend to jump in and commit organizational suicide.

“The Boy Scouts of America on Friday moved to partially lift its long-standing ban on gays,”
That is like giving Obama the right to “register” all guns.

In the early 60’s my troop had a gay guy in it. He wasn’t in your face about it nor a preditor, he was just differnt. As kids do he was just part of the gang. While the rest of us were off hunting and fishing he picked flowers so we called him ‘Posey Picker’. Don’t recall any trouble out of him. He only had a mother and a little brother who was all kid. It was a kind of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ kind of thing.

My thought exactly when I saw the headline.
It’s preposterous to think if they allow boys who are “open” - which ultimately means acting out their sexual “orientation”, give it a few years (or months) and adults will be allowed as leaders. What are they going to do - let someone receive their Eagle Scout and without any change in behavior deny them participation as a leader a day later when they turn 18?
To: upchuck
The perverts of society are ruining everything out of pure evil and personal sexual gratification.
\ They have infiltrated the bastions of normalcy in our country, and our Government. Time to toss my old badges and send my support somewhere else.
