The Boy Scouts of America’s Executive Committee today released its membership policy resolution, which proposes removing the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone and maintaining the current membership policy for all adult leaders of the Boy Scouts of America.

The resolution, if passed, would be effective Jan. 1, 2014. You can read a summary below or see the complete text at this link (PDF). ...

Below is the resolution:

Youth membership in the Boy Scouts of America is open to all youth who meet the specific membership requirements to join the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, Sea Scout, and Venturing programs. Membership in any program of the Boy Scouts of America requires the youth member to (a) subscribe to and abide by the values expressed in the Scout Oath and Scout Law, (b) subscribe to and abide by the precepts of the Declaration of Religious Principle (duty to God), and (c) demonstrate behavior that exemplifies the highest level of good conduct and respect for others and is consistent at all times with the values expressed in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone.

Well I sure hope the 2% will now step up and fund their farm team because I won’t. No more wreaths or popcorn, etc.

They won’t. The corporate dollars might start flowing again, but all that does is feed the machine at the top and does nothing to fund units themselves.

The units are the ones who earn the money from popcorn and wreath sales.

If they approve gays/pedophiles they are committing suicide as an organization.

Do they really think they are going to get the support of the "gay community" or the "business community" if they don't allow gay men to be leaders?

So some gay kid is allowed to be an openly gay member. He works his way through and becomes and eagle scout. A few years later he petitions to be a troop leader and is denied.

The gays and the biz-weinies won't have a hissy fit over that? Really?

Perhaps instead of Farm Team it should be the Fem Team.

The BSA is committing organizational suicide in the interest of corporate money and approval from the leftmedia. Very sad. They’ll never see another dime of my money and I suspect millions more will have the same attitude. The concept of homosexuals being welcomed into an all-male service organization aimed at boys is insane. BSA will quickly see a huge drop-off in new members and many scouts families will remove their boys from the organization. Shame on the BSA honchos who sold out to corporate donations and the PC mentality. Shame!

What they are saying in “cognitive dissonance” . It is irrational (Marxism).

They say there is no Truth, no Right and Wrong, no “evil” behavior, no Natural Laws and No “God’s Laws”.

They are allowing evil ideology to destroy the idea of God, Christian Ethics and God’s Law (Judaism).

They are trying to destroy Logic and Reason in little boys-—and normalize the Afghani Ethics which says there is nothing wrong with sodomy-—and like in Afghanistan and ALL homosexual “positive” cultures-—the boys will be targeted for sex-—because homosexuality is an immaturity and fixation that happens by child abuse when they are vulnerable in their sexual identity formation.

NAMBLA states if NOT by eight, then it is too late. What they mean—is that the “idea” of anal sex has to be normalized in young children (Jerry Brown curricula “Pride” in pederasts and anal sex)-—so the “icky” factor which is normal iwhen little boys are around “fecal material” will have to be removed.....the “idea” of two men “kissing” has to be modeled and approved of in culture-—like in Afghanistan—so that little boys have their Ethical system turned upside down and will have their idea of “sex” warped-—to the pagan/occult/Freemason elitist/Bohemian Grove ethics, where human beings can be “means to an end” (Marxism).

It is intrinsically evil and promotes irrationality in children. (Lies). It is extremely sexist, as all homosexual cultures are, where women become breeders and children become commodities to be sold or bartered and denied their Natural Right to have a biological mother and father.

It is sick and dehumanizing for a baby. It de-natures children and leaves them to believe any absurd “truth” like Marxists want: Up is Down. Like Wundt stated: you can make little children believe Snow is Black-—if you get them young enough. Even older children are vulnerable to indoctrination and perversion. Our public schools push both Marxism and perversion....get them out.

This might actually be good news. You see this is FAR less than the activists wanted and it’s indicative that the feedback from membership was not enthusiastic for change. There is still hope that the nat’l council voters will vote no to the resolution.

HUH??
Since being a homosexual pervert is not (duty to God) then why is a persons choice to be a pervert not reason to be excluded?

Even that they’ll vote on this is a sign of the organization’s overall degradation.

I think, grab your skills, your Boy Scout Handbook and most of all, your faith and be ready to bail.

Gays are going to do the same thing for the Boy Scouts that they did for the YMCA in the 80’s.

I thoroughly agree with you.

“If they approve gays/pedophiles they are committing suicide as an organization.”

Exactly like the Girl Scouts who are dying a fast death after their hostile takeover by lesbians. When you buy Girl Scout cookies you are paying for abortions on demand all over the country.
