I've been a Scouter now for the last 10 years. I'm active at a level that brings me into contact with volunteers from numerous units besides my own, and my local Council's professional staff as well. And I'm here to tell you that there's plenty of liberals in the BSA, folks. If we all only joined organizations whose politics and policies we agreed with 100%, most of us would be spending our evenings and weekends sitting home watching TV and never going out.
As well, there's certainly enough conservatives who disapprove of the BSA because "don't ask, don't tell" isn't conservative enough for them.
Hi, Ron.
Yes, and there are some pretty liberal Scouters who'd love to get some sort of local-option going that would flank and bypass the BSA leadership in Texas, settling the issue de facto in favor of the James Dales, notwithstanding the BSA's recent SCOTUS victory.
After all, outcomes are what count, right?
Meanwhile, we just convicted another Scouter who turned out to be an active molester, here in Texas.
