Say it isn’t so! Not the Boy Scouts. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t want to believe it. I opened my e-mail and found an urgent request from the Family Research Council to call the Boy Scouts. http://www.frc.org/alert/breaking-news-will-the-boy-scouts-stand-up-to-bullies The Boy Scouts were “considering” revising their policy of allowing active homosexuals to participate as scouts and leaders.
A statement released from the national leadership of the Boy Scouts stated they were “discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation.” They were going to defer membership requirements to local groups.
What are the contributing factors to the Boy Scouts considering caving into the demands of homosexual activists and media pressure? Certainly media hype surrounding two cases last year were major contributors. One story concerned Ryan Andresen, who was denied his Eagle Scout badge because he considers himself homosexual. http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/10/06/was-a-boy-scout-denied-an-award-because-hes-gay/
In another incident, den leader Jennifer Tyrrell was asked to leave because she is a lesbian.
Both Ryan’s mom and Jennifer Tyrrell generated petitions with large numbers of signatures to change the policy. Never mind that in both instances, they were fully aware of the Boy Scouts policy, but wielded pressure on the organization to change its policy for them. And never mind that the media pushing the homosexual agenda totally omitted the fact that Andresen did not want to take the scout Oath because he did not agree to Duty to God. “This scout proactively notified his unit leadership and Eagle Scout counselor that he does not agree to scouting’s principle of ‘Duty to God’ and does not meet scouting’s membership standard on sexual orientation,” Deron Smith, a spokesman for the organization said in a statement. “Agreeing to do one’s ‘Duty to God’ is a part of the scout Oath and Law and a requirement of achieving the Eagle Scout rank” (My underlining). http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/10/05/162371701/teenage-boy-scout-denied-organizations-top-rank-because-hes-gay
In addition to distorting the facts about the Andresen case, the mainstream media is also disregarding a story about two prominent national board members, Ernst & Young CEO James Turley and AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, who are actively seeking to change the Boy Scouts long standing policy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/13/james-turley-boy-scouts-gay-ban_n_1593595.html
Oddly enough, at the same time last year that members and leaders were petitioning for homosexuals to join the Boy Scouts, the Los Angeles Times released a disturbing story about sexual abuse within the Boy Scouts. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-boyscouts-20120805-m,0,5822319.story
Of course, the liberal media was quick to point out that homosexuals are not pedophiles, while never answering the question of when does a boy become a man—when he hits puberty or hits 18 or 21. What is the magical age?
What really might be prompting the Boy Scouts to reconsider their policy is money. Last year with all the controversy swirling around the Boy Scouts not allowing homosexuals to participate, United Way as well as companies that offered corporate support in the past pulled their funding, financially hurting the Boy Scouts.
While some people might say, “What’s the big deal? Homosexuals are nice people”. The issue is not whether or not homosexuals are nice people.
The real issue is the consequences of this decision. Why do homosexuals want to join the Boy Scouts? No one is required to join the Boy Scouts. Why should they really care? Once the Boy Scouts cave in, then homosexual activists will push for the next step. If the Boy Scouts allow homosexuals to participate, are the Boy Scouts legitimizing homosexual behavior? If you legitimize a deviant behavior is the deviant behavior then acceptable? Is it then acceptable for Boy Scout leaders to discuss deviant behavior as the new normal? Are those who disagree with that behavior than considered not normal? Is it then acceptable to bully those who oppose homosexual activities? Homosexual activists already bash Christians. Just read the comments on the stories covering this topic. And if it is okay to discuss homosexual behavior as acceptable–just a lifestyle choice that young people should explore– is it then acceptable to engage in those activities?
Oh, how soon we forget. Not that long ago homosexuality was listed by the American Psychiatric Association and American Psychological Association as a mental illness. There were and in a few cases still are laws against sodomy. Why? It was a protection of society. People don’t want to admit what homosexuality is—a deviant behavior. People no longer understand natural law. If the Boy Scouts allow homosexuals to join, they will be living a lie, because they will no longer be able to live their scout oath.
Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
It's the same crowd in both cases demanding entry for the pedophiles into Scouting and forcing the coverup of Menendez.
It's pretty obvious Boy Scouts needs a new national board and some of these guys should be investigated
Will have to read your link. Agree totally with your post.

“It’s pretty obvious Boy Scouts needs a new national board and some of these guys should be investigated.”
BINGO! It’s one thing to be under assault from external forces, which are always out there. But to have the National Board push the Boy Scouts down the crapper is reason enough to have the entire Board fired and replaced. I would tell Mr. Ernst & Young and Mr. ATT to go stuff it (which they probably already do).
The BSA does not need corporate sponsors or United Way approval to uphold its charter. It needs to keep its integrity, and the rest will work out.
If the Boy Scouts vote to admit gays, I suspect that “Scouting for Catholics” will become “Catholic Scouts” and the LDS scouting troops will become a separate organization. The religious will peal away in droves, and it will be easier in many regards because so many troops are already sponsored by churches. Scouting then focuses on being a boys group within the church.
It is much more Toxic than that. It is teaching Vice is “Good” and teaching young boys that there is no Right and Wrong in sexual morality. You are basically throwing out Christian Ethics (that should be instilled in children) and replacing them with the old regressive, pagan, occult “virtue” of sodomy where pederasty was the grooming grounds and always used in their “rites” to Lucifer.
All ancient civilizations practiced child sacrifice, sodomy/pederasty, and slavery. They still do in today’s Afghanistan and other pro-homosexual cultures. It is to force God out of our Constitution-—His standards of Right and Wrong-—so we can replace it with the State and their arbitrary laws—where Vice (sodomy) is forced on children to accept as “good” and a “right”.
It is pure evil to warp the worldview of little kids with thoughts of anal sex-—just like it warps those pretty little Afghani boys who can’t wait to grow up and have harems of boys for their own use.
If children are exposed to “ideas” as if they are “good” which this rule will FORCE——then it will throw out Judeo-Christian EThics and replace it with Satanic Ethics.
Agreed.
Answer: Of course they will surrender.
Comment: Vice is every where triumphant. There is no power of resistance, physical or spiritual, remaining in the healthy portion of our society.
If the BSA thinks it has financial problems now, just
go ahead with the homosexual decision and they will really see what financial problems are like.
Eagle Scout (1969), 12 years as a Scouter, consistent contributor to the local Council: All to be undone if this decision is made.
No more contributions.
Scouter uniform will be packed away.
Eagle metal will be returned to BSA National.
I have a very heavy heart over this.

Another very good article about the BSA and what are the reason or reasons they may be about to go to the Very Dark Side. Please read dagogo redux's comments (many other comments on the thread area also excellent), here's a snip of dagogo's:
The simple, and yet complete, answer, BTW, for anyone wondering why homosexuals would be motivated to become adult or older peer leaders in the Scouts - besides the general Leftist wish to corrupt every last bastion of previously conservative cultural authority - is summed up in Willie Sutton’s famous reason for robbing banks, or in the simple concept of a “target-rich environment”. It’s never any more complicated than that.
Anyone wanting on/off either list, freepmail me.

Looks like they are planning to ease it in gradually.
The change, I mean...
Savagesusie, I really appreciate your comments. My only quibble would be when you say that ALL ancient civilizations practiced sodomy, and this is just plain not true about India. If you want, I can post a link and quotes from the Manu Samhita, tha ancient Vedic texts about laws and right and wrong. Sodomy or same sex acts were punished, condemned and considered grievously sinful and immoral. I am not an historian so I don’t know about other ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Babylonia, Sumeria, or China (or others), but I do know about ancient Indian civilzation, which btw pre-dates all of them, and was very strongly prohibitve of all same sex acts.

Why indeed. What a mystery. Boggles the mind. I have no idea. Can't even venture a guess.
You are so right. But I am beginning to think this is just about destroying the BSA. NONE of the liberal, homo supporters care one bit if the BSA goes the way of the dinosaurs; which it will if they allow homo’s to take over.
whats the deal about this please?
Have they come out and said no to child molestors or did they put kids in danger for their love of money or shoudl I say they caved in to the two who are bozo’s pals and are infiltrators
It’s crazy, isn’t it, manc. We’ve been at this for years on FR and it’s getting white hot now. The disgustingly evil homo agenda, and the entire leftist/commie/muzzie/sodom and gomorrah agenda is now pedal to the metal. They want utter destruction, because they are motivated by nothing other than lust, greed and anger, and they have all gone stark raving insane.
