I do not and will never understand how putting gay men in charge of a group of children is possibly a battle worth fighting. Allowing gay kids in, like they did last year is acceptable to me, but not putting adult men in charge of children. It takes one messed up individual to scar children for life. This is idiocy.
Get this. The BSA required all adult scout leaders to go through YPT (youth protection training). The purpose of this is to raise awareness and prevent child abuse by adult leaders. It is very similar to the Virtus training in the Catholic schools.
Then they go full 180 degrees with gay scouts.
Gay scouts will grow up to be gay scout leaders.
How can the BSA square with a counteracting policies?
They can’t. They have to choose one way of the other.
Looks like they are going to knuckle under again.
So what happens when that kid earns his Eagle, grows up and wants to be a Scout Master? Open door...
Last year was just the camel in the door. After fighting it for years, including a winning USSC decision, BSA leadership quickly caved to popular culture and against their oath.
Once you give in, it’s impossible to stop giving in.
For the record, I was a Scoutmaster with Eagle and Life scout sons. Our troop dissolved and went en masse to Trail Life USA.
