While our local cub pack faltered breifly in recruiting new members, our School Night for Scouting on Sept.10 signed up 16 new scouts, bringing us to a total of 48.

I was on our Cub committee during the whole homosexual controversy - which was hotly debated in our town. We lost precisely two families (out of 70 or so) who disagreed with the Boy Scout's position. A few other families sort of faded out of the pack due to their fear of the controversy (you know, where you have to take a stand). During the same year, our Boy Scout troop almost doubled in size, and we added a new and fourth Boy Scout troop to our town. Boy Scouts is going strong around here, and I believe that the fact that scouts won't allow homosexuals as scoutmasters is seen as a huge plus by a great many families.
