There was a lot of bad information and very poor information a while back on the subject. This article in the current Scouting Magzine, the BSA info source for leaders, describes what really happened.

BSA can shove it. I have given to them in the past, based on their once courageous stand against sodomy.
They sent me an email survey with all sorts of “scenarios” with homosexuals.....I made it clear then that my finances will not support them if they happily embrace homosexual behavior.
They do, so my monies now go to the boys organization at

Just a stepping stone to allowing openly homosexual chicken haw....er, scout leaders into the organization.
I used to donate $5 or $10 to every group of scouts I passed when they were out selling popcorn. I was also contemplating putting my son into scouts as I was a Boy Scout when I was young.
I'll never donate again and my son will never join.

Dear BSA:
You now stand for nothing. Your organization is doomed.

So, when these queer Eagle Scouts are ready to become scoutmasters once they become adults, who but the meanest of haters could deny their acceptance?

The only real information at this point is what it has cost the BSA to do this. That is, how are their donations compared to last year; how many boys and even troops have dropped out; and how many troops have lost their meeting areas in churches that have asked them to leave?
The true answers to these three questions will determine if their decision was a wise one, or foolish and destructive.

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. This text is self-contradictory.
This whole article is a plea to get right-thinking people to jump onto a fast moving train of homosexual sex-positive messaging, despite the deliberate gutting of the mission of the BSA. To accept that the "mission has not changed", one has to believe that homosexuality is moral, rational, and is not a sin.
The BSA is committing suicide.
