This decision was not really to provide homosexual children with scouting. Scouting starts in 2nd grade. The money spent on lawyers and the gorilla warfare used to gain access to the Boy Scouts was not for the children at all. It was for the adults wanting access to scouting. Removing scouts from recreational parks for camping. Not allowing projects on taxpayer owned lands coupled with public humiliation at Democrat Conventions when scouts appeared on stage. The Philadelphia homosexual city Democrat politician that had the scouts kicked out of the meeting place they had for decades. It is not about kids. It is about well financed, powerful adults demanding access.

->talk radio should have been talking about this and telling us which companies were doing this , instead they remain silent as usual

Talk radio is being too quiet (Imo) on most social issues and that silence is hurting the country overall. The more the left advances this the more they can have people saying... oh, it's normal now. Thanks. talk radio on that aspect of this. Gay boys grow up then the next battle is to become a scout leader. The BSA just folded on this great private organization. They didn't care about the overall boys, did they of what's to come..

I truly believe this vote may have had a different outcome had the LDS (Mormon Church) taken a different stand.

Instead they chose to support homosexuality by sanctioning it within the church.

Are you serious? What if it were to be discovered that a boy scout had (gasp) a girlfriend? He should be kicked out?

My husband asked, and I don’t know, what is the organizational structure that allowed these turncoat, pro-homosexual leadership to rise up to the level of the executive council or whatever it was called that just made this decision? I don’t know the organizational structure of scouting, but would venture to guess this was NOT the majority opinion at the local scouting level.

Can anyone answer that who understands the scouting leadership structure?

Back in 1956-57 I was a member of the scout troop in my ward in northern Utah. The Duty to God award was for me at that time more important than the Eagle badge. While I no longer follow Mormon dogma I am proud of that heritage and am sickened to think that the homosexuals have won with their slick conniving approach with LDS leadership. Just one more reason for me to know my decision about OTC was right.

One suggestion: The United Way Fund.

They not only support abortions through Planned Parenthood but many local UWs provide funding for the BSA. Stop giving to the UW and ^tell them why^.

I’m sure there will be countless letters and phone calls just like yours.

I never understood why the scouts had to kow tow to the government and why the government had the power to stick it’s nose into the organization. But then libs have been going after them for years.

I put a lot of the blame there myself.

The gay mafia got exactly what it wanted. It didn’t want inclusion in the Boy Scouts, it wanted the Boy Scouts destroyed.

Indeed. Talk-radio has been all but absent on social issues for several years now, basically helping to clear the path for America to slide into the putrid cultural sewer that it has. All they (and FoxNews, etc.) seem to really care about is “low taxes” for their northeastern corporate buddies. The same slimeball corporations that are invariably run by these same degenerates that push their deviant worldview on organizations like the Scouts.

Yesterday, I called and talked to the registrar of the Daniel Webster Council, BSA, here in New Hampshire. I pointed out that as a former Life Scout, Proud Father of an Eagle Scout, and former Scouter, I could not morally accept the decision of the BSA in regards to homosexual Scouts and requested that my contact information be removed.

The registrar said that they would delete my "credentials". He didn't make any other comment, but I could tell by the strained voice, that he was carefully avoiding any position. I felt sorry for him. He is a full-time employee, having to support a reprehensible position.

It is my hope that they are inundated with resignations.

Probably the best recourse is for concerned parents to take their entire troop out of the organization, while continuing to practice traditional Boy Scout activities, but no longer under the organizational umbrella.

In fact, once out of the BSA, troops can reemphasize religious and patriotic values, offer more skills such as knife, axe, rifle, shotgun, handgun, archery, and ‘classical’ scouting skills such as semaphore, Morse code, survival training; map, compass and navigation, etc.
