Not really.

Not really what? That this will end the Boy Scouts, or that it will impact the Trail Life and AHG?

“And yet another once great institution destroyed, all in the name of insanity, ...”

Trail Life and other similar scouting organizations will pick up the slack as the mass exodus from the BSA (aka Scouting For Boys) explodes just as it did for Scouts Canada when they took the same turn several years ago. American Heritage Girls is doing the same since the GSA went lesbo.

I really doubt that those two organizations will be sued.

Why?

They are not as large as BSA is at present and more likely are local church based.

The sodomites won’t stop until the very few Bible-believing churches have been isolated, the easier to persecute. Every organisation which has ties to Christianity, but isn’t explicitly itself a church, will be sued. Then, if they can’t sue the Bible-believing churches to force them to ditch their opposition to the sodomite agenda, they will box them into small corners, try to take away tax-exempt status, etc, so that they can no longer effectively operate Christian ministries, schools, etc, outside of what might strictly be considered the church. Then when people don’t have local Bible-believing churches to attend and so begin house churches, they will use such things as parking regulations to try to drive them out of operation.

They already won. From what I have read, this vote was unanimous.

I hope you’re right, about conservatives taking their kids and shaking the dust from their feet. I don’t know, people have become so apathetic about taking even the smallest, easiest actions on principle.

Only if the local Troop Leaders let them.

From what I understand, local organisations can still make their own decisions about it.

Under the worse of persecution, remember, it is the water that waters the seeds of faith for new Christians.

True, that being said, the Boys Scouts, if they are sued, will be sued under either public accommodation laws, or under anti-discrimination laws. These laws will also apply to Trail Life and AHG. It may take some time, but I guarantee it will happen. My daughter is in AHG. My son, Boy Scouts. We'll be looking into getting my son into the Trail Life troop if his Boy Scout troop starts going wonky. Right now, there's no intention of allowing this to happen in our troop. But we are still subject to a lawsuit if someone gets his/her/its knickers in a twist.

I don’t forget that, but it’s really rather breathtaking, in a bad way, that a nation which was founded for a moral people and can’t effectively operate as a democratic republic under any other condition, which morality was based in Christianity, has come to this. As a nation, as a whole, we have lost God’s blessing and His restraint of judgement and the bad and evil things which will accrue to us stemming from that judgement and loss of restraint of evil by God’s hand.

On July 27, Robert M. Gates, president of the Boy Scouts of America, announced that the National Executive Board ratified a resolution ending the ban on openly gay adult leaders and employees.

Evil men, like Robert M. Gates, and the Boy Scout Executives who control millions of dollars of scout assets, have already corrupted the morals of the Boy Scouts of America. They will not stop until the BSA is in chaos and destroyed.

Satan loves Gates, death, and chaos.

Yet this could bring more people to faith in Christ.

I think you’re right Jack,

I lead a Trail Life USA troop. In the past 3 days, I’ve gotten three new inquiries from families that want to check out trail life.

I expect that our open house in September will be packed.

We did AHG for two years.
There’s actually a growing list of alternatives to the Girl Scouts, including AHG.
