I wish this were the way it would be. But you see, now the whole organization is tainted. Earning an Eagle will never be the same. Now Boy's Life magazine and the merit badge booklets and the scout handbook will all include this change. Now, in essence, it is as if the following scenario played out:
Hi, I am a thief and I want to be a boy scout and join your troop.
Well, I am sorry, but you cannot join our troop unless you promise to stop stealing. You must say an oath in which you promise to be "morally straight".
Oh no, you can't refuse me because the National Council says you must admit all boys regardless of their lifestyle choices.
Well, okay. Sign right here.
I understand what you are saying. I wonder, has anyone ever been kicked out of the Boy Scouts for violating the oath as it now stands? This reminds me of the Episcopal Church (ECUSA). How can you continue to participate and worship in a local church whose national leadership is in direct opposition to the Bible and Christianity in its blatant advocacy of Gays/Lesbians leading the ECUSA? Unfortunately, it did permeate down to the local level, and those who protested were locked out of their church and property confiscated. Could a BSA local chapter or former Eagle Scout who is now an adult sue the National board for violating the foundational tenets of the BSA and destroying the organization?
