The Boy Scouts of America's stance of not allowing openly gay people to serve as troop leaders or members has inspired several Eagle Scouts to return their hard-earned medals and renounce their membership.

None. He quoted the NYT hit piece, though.

They made it to Eagle Scout without the fear an adult homosexual having their way with them. Please do not try to change that for our new and present day scouts. Disagree? Thats your right, but don’t put future kids in that sort of danger.

I'll have to look at my card again to get the exact date. I don't carry it in my "daily driver" wallet. I have my dad's Eagle Scout medal/sash/patch. My uniform is still hanging in the closet. I occasionally pull it out to attend Eagle court of honor events.

Congrats on achieving that "youngest ever" record. I joined Wednesday night before Memorial Day in 1968. The scoutmaster accommodated my desire to go on the troop hike on Saturday by running through the entire Tenderfoot requirements on Thursday morning (Memorial Day). There was no minimum time requirement at that point in time. Second class and a few merit badges were in hand by mid-July at summer camp. First Class the first week of December. It was a good time.

“Anyway, this is what happens when heads full of mush get “exposed” to our liberal teaching institutions: inclusion, equality of outcomes, and homosex and “rights” are elevated above doing ones duty to God and Country.”

You’re right; in the meantime, they are being replaced by people who have no tolerance for homosexuality and the highest sense of duty to God. They just have a slightly different God than us.

The wheat is fairly jumping off the chaff now, isn’t it?

Billy Graham put out a letter yesterday that said America is living in decadence and Americans are a deceived people.

Rev. Graham is right.

He shames himself and all engineers with a “PE” after his name as well.

Thank you. Scouting was a wonderful experience for the kids. For a while, we moved a lot...and the first thing I did [in a new town] was enroll them in Scouts....it helped us become a part of the community early upon our arrival and the kids adjust to their new surroundings.

I have a feeling that this stunt was probably a note off a FB page........all for the author’s 15 minutes.
