While that is a very Christian, and noble, perspective, let's think further upon it. BSA's policy has always been that the volunteers are forbidden from talking of sexual matters with their scouts. Of course, that is, to a degree, violated when you show them some of the YPT videos - Is "A Time to Tell" still used? Counselling of open homosexual youth would require further training of volunteers. This strays over into the area of "reparative therapy" which is all in the news right now and is under heavy assault by the homosexualists. Of course, commensurate with the homosexual scout is the boy's parents. Now that is another potential time bomb waiting to go off. We get enough of irate parents who aren't involved with their son's unit as it is. Then there is the matter of protecting your younger scouts from an older open homosexual scout. I am not trampling upon your viewpoint - it just needs further examination before I am convinced BSA should go there.
The structure of the BSA doesn’t allow that, nor should it. The adults involved are nearly always laypeople. They too, shouldn’t be involved. But, the clergy is involved and should be involved in the spiritual lives of the Scout boys.
I’ve seen teen boys get caught up in the homosexual lifestyle who previously acted, spoke and talked normally prior. Then, once in the lifestyle, their mannerisms, speech patterns and behavior changed.
If it isn’t genetic then it is psychological and potentially chemical/biological in origin. It can be overcome and has been. It wouldn’t be appropriate for the other adults or children to do anything for this young person, but to show them Christlike love (agape).
It would be up to the clergy and the parents to decide on the best form of intervention. By getting it out of the dark, you don’t normalize it, although that could happen, instead you get a chance to fix it.
Satan wants to keep it in the dark and that’s where he can win. It’s an unhealthy lifestyle - physically, mentally and spiritually. I don’t know a parent, including those with honmosexual children, that would want their kid to be a homosexual. They love their kids, but not their lifestyle.
In addition having it out in the open is consistent with the YPT we received. If I saw an openly homosexual Scout behaving inappropriately or pursuing/grooming another Scout or being pursued/groomed by an adult leader, neither party could say, “we’re innocent”.
