The Catholic Church will somehow get blamed for this.

Do you now understand why the Boy Scouts don´t want homosexuals in their membership?

Oh wait. Like the previous poster said, somehow this will be blamed on the Catholic Church or the boys.

On tax day, I send contributions to the Boy Scouts and to the NRA, putting my money where it will do good.

Be prepared, that´s the Boy Scouts solemn creed
Be prepared and be clean in word and deed
Don´t bend over for the Scout Master, that´s not nice
If he asks just turn the pervert in to Vice

Still far more likely to be sexually assaulted by a public school employee than either a scout leader or a member of the clergy.

Funny how the media never covers that.

I don´t want sexually active single scout leaders in charge of young kids. That goes for not having young hetero males leading girl scout troops or lesbians running the troop.

There are lots of things to volunteer for. Coaching has become a similar area and many coaches are extremely careful to never be alone with players, especially ones of the opposite sex or similar persuasion.

Predatory behavior is real and inexcusable.

Could there be a link between homosexuality and homosexual pedophilia?

I almost forgot. Homosexuality is normal and natural (Yea, right), but pedophilia is an aberration.

So how then can homosexual-pedophilia be explained?

At some point in the future, the BSA will get sued out of existence. They don´t have the deep pockets that the Catholic Church has - or a Penn State.

Many pedophiles have heterosexual adult relationships and yet abuse children of either sex. I agree with #5 and parents need to keep an eye on their children´s relationships with adult coaches, etc.

If he had only proposed a group marriage with them...he´d be a media celebrity hero of the cause... /s

#4 has got it right. My first thought was the socialists are using their successful tactics against the Catholic Church against their other strong nemisis the Boy Scouts. They care nothing about the children. They only want to tear down those remaining institutions that still fight them.

Same sex pedophilia and pederasty are NOT the same thing as homosexuality and there is no proven correlation between being homosexual and having an attraction to children. Because there are men who molest little girls, does that mean all heterosexual men are pedophiles too??? Of course not. It just proves that making sweeping judgments usually leads to wrong conclusions.

We don´t need to make the sweeping generalization.

Jerry Sandusky, not us, chose exclusively male victims. Take it up with him.

I can´t help but think gay activists will use this news to attach the BSA because of their policy against admitting homosexuals. So don´t be surprised if this gets a lot of media coverage. Too bad someone doesn´t do some tough investigative reporting of pedophilia among politicians of the progressive persuasion. That´s likely where the real scandal lies.

I´m on board with #6.
Execute him.

The boys involved were 16 and older - post-pubescent - it´s not pedophilia. Like those priests, this guy may be a predatory homosexual who likes them young...and they may like them older, too. I understand 16 year olds are capable of consensual sex under New Jersey law, outside of the statutory rape law. And who´s to say this is anything but a shot at BSA and its pocketbook by active "gay pride" homosexuals? This bears watching...like those pesky nooses and "carvings" inflicted by racists everywhere.

In the last couple of weeks, there have been several articles in the New York Post about sexual abuse of a 12 year old girl by a rabbi in an ultra-orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn. And, in another incident:

The chancellor of Yeshiva University reportedly has acknowledged that two rabbis assigned to its all-boys high school were allowed to leave quietly after students accused them of sexual abuse. NY Post, December 14, 2012.

It´s happening everywhere.

Does anyone keep an annual tally of how many children are abused by the public school teachers?

This information is beginning to sound like a replay of what happened to the Catholic Church.
I was a boy scout for a number of years and never heard or saw such behavior. People looking for deep pockets to sue. The bottom feeding attorneys are frothing at the mouth to start suing the boy scouts. The liberals hate the boy scouts because they believe in God and do not believe in homosexuality in their ranks.

I am not sure what pretzel logic #12 is trying to apply here, but it sounds like the assertion is that homosexuals attacking same sex kids is not homosexual behavior. All I can say is - Wow!

Try this fact on for size - homosexuals constitute about 1.5% of the population but commit about 20-40% of child molestations, making them 20 times as likely, proportionally, to molest children as heterosexuals.

Castrate him.

Isn´t this one of the homosexual scout leaders constitutional rights, or is that only a right in California ?

This proves why the Boy Scouts are right to exclude homosexuals as leaders.
