RESOLVED, that the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America adopt a policy, substantially in the form set forth below, (i) stating that membership and leadership positions are open to persons regardless of their sexual orientation, subject to compliance with Scouting's standards of conduct, but (ii) recognizing that in selecting adult leaders, the Chartered Organization will also expect compliance with the requirements of the Chartered Organization for adult leadership positions in programs serving youth.
It was rejected at the 2002 annual National Council business meeting. On 6/10/2002, the Boston Minutemen Council announced that the MC for its fund raising dinner would be an openly gay radio talk show host.
