[[SIXTY PERCENT of the vote was in favor. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??!?]]
Was that 60% of ALL the scout masters? Or just if a swelect group of gay loving scout masters from ultra liberal burrows?
I’ve written the return letter for him- see my psot above- (it will need soem spell correctign and perhaps just a wee bit of censorship before sendign htough)
Sixty percent? How many voted? 6 yay, 4 nay is ‘60%’...does anyone know the actual number of voters?
As someone that fought to have the congregation support the BSA, I feel betrayed.
60% of the scouts/ members were against allowing gays. The leadership committee did not listen to their members nationwide. That's the travesty in itself.
funny... i don't remember the scouts 'educating' young kids on the virtues of deviant sexual behavior. must have missed that badge
ANY parent that knowingly places their child into the boy scouts will be open to a willful endangerment charge if the boy is molested
Royal Rangers is where it’s at folks. You don’t have to be Assembly of God. I’m not and I love Royal Rangers!
I saw in another thread where it was stated that BSA headquarters thought they would lose 10%. So much for focus groups huh?
My grandson will make eagle scout this summer, we are proud of him and he has worked hard for the honor...glad he is my last male grandson....my hubby use to be in charge of the cub scouts in our area and all the den mothers were mostly from out sub-division...some of my son’s went on to be boy scouts but none made eagle like my grandson will....
Congratulations you should be proud of your Grandson. My son made it to Eagle some 7 years ago and it made him a confident young man with high morals.

Just 60% were agaisnt it? I would have thought it would have been a larger percentage conciderign htey take an oath to obey God’s principles- but still 60% majority agaisnt it but organization just defies them- swell- sounds just like California where voters voted to OPPOSE gay marriage, but law makers went behidn their backs and made it legal anywaYS-
The criminals o nthe left no logner care what the majority want-
It also looks good on a resume, even in the military, they go in one step over private....Hate to see the scouts fall for the gay trap. Young children don’t know what gay really is, and those that apply, I think are just doing it for kicks and that would be older teens...
Sexual activity is a chosen thing one does. You may choose NOT to engage in sexual activity. You may have been taught that attraction to the same sex is now okay, but it’s not.
Another chosen activity is pyromania, and how about Jihad? Should we allow Jihadist pyromaniacs that get off on burning and beheading to be boyscouts? They’re “orientations” and “choices.” right?
They’re delusional.
No more cash from me. Good luck with your decline, BSA.
The BSA will now do everything to make it seem as though it’s business as usual. In reality, it ceased to exist as a viable organization this week.
Not sure how to post link. Sorry
last year Scouts collected over seven million pounds of food for the hungry...Where the heck did they find those? Kenya?
They will quickly find that there is a disconnect between those who support them financially through donations and purchasing their over priced items, (like paying $24.00 for a small tin of popcorn.)
Since they did not embrace gay leadership, the gays will not be happy, and since they allowed gay youth, parents will not be happy.
This lose/lose will hit their bottom line big time, and sadly they may find themselves unable to adjust in any way that will matter.
