I am a unit commissioner in the scouts and have been involved in scouts for nearly 40 years. I do not object to homosexual scouts. I do object to homosexual scout leaders.

If this goes through, I will be resigning my position and i suspect there will be many others that will as well. This is just too dangerous for the boys.

Scouting had its century. Just about the amount of time it takes to totally screw up a really good idea.

Eh, when my son was in Scouting, almost all of the leaders were mothers. That was about 15 years ago. Maybe they´re running out of men who aren´t gay who want to be involved.

The biggest problem is money. Many firms, who had previously helped the Scouts, are under pressure from the powerful gay lobby. Many companies in the last few years have withdrawn their support and even impacted where the Scouts have their yearly jamboree. This is sad and if it happens, the Boy Scouts will lose their stellar reputation and many participants. For future reference, anything that doesn´t walk the liberal walk will be attacked, note, Fox News is presently being subjected to this. Even though Fox isn´t perfect, we should support it.

I think that just leaves, who? The Mormons, the Southern Baptist Conference, and the Catholic Church? I expect they´ll be targeted for destruction simultaneously. But "When they came for the Mormons, I didn´t speak out for them because I wasn´t a MOrmon," ec. etc. etc.

You watch.

Liberals, particularly the gay lobby, can´t seem to build anything good on their own, be it organizations, businesses, or cities. All they can do is infect what others have built and tear it down, all in the name of gaining an unearned sense of victimhood and moral superiority (not to mention money in many cases).

#6 - it´s that way with everything - in the church people don´t have the guts to leave and start their own congregation, they want to destroy or take over an existing one; the leftists in this country don´t want to move to Russia or Cuba and try out their ideas, they want to rape and rob this country and change it; destroy from within - wasn´t that what Kruschev predicted?

Just because they make a lot of noise doesn´t mean gays are all powerful. They make up a very small segment of the population.
Just say NO.

Too bad. Should the Scouts go with this insanity - they´ve just screwed ´emselves out of some free acreage I´d planned to will to ´em...

There have been 4 generations of Scouts in my family - and 2 generations of leaders. None of us care to be in the mental health business.

It´s a bit flabbergasting that ´thinking adults´ don´t smack the gay lobby down with a vengeance. Fifteen years of these morally bankrupt idiots preaching ´normal and healthy!´ to the nation´s schoolchildren have the CDC currently reporting 1000 new cases of HIV *monthly* in ´young male´ territory.

The gay lobby is far more concerned with ´fresh meat´ than any well-being of any child.

The Scouts will be the last of the private, conservative organizations to expire from old age. This country is just begging for a vibrant, private, conservative, counter-culture infrastructure. We are de facto barred from public institutions by characterizing our political beliefs as "offensive." And our traditionally conservative private institutions have been completely co-opted. (Our catholic priest is an ear-ring-wearing, non-practicing homosexual who just can´t do enough for the illegal Mexicans -- except to tell them to obey the law and go home.) We await the arrival of the modern era catacomb for conservative Constitutionalists. The internet may be one part of it, but it lacks the local, intimate sense of community that is the bedrock of day-to-day civilization.

Isn´t one of the main purposes of scouting to learn self reliance? Why do scouts need corporate sponsors? Are the boy scouts principles sold to the highest bidders?

The BSA should fight. It´s what we taught the boys in every troop. I used to watch the cowardice in the local troop leadership when ANYTHING "controversial" popped up. BSA at the national level has become too much about the money. IF this is why they are caving, that doesn´t say much for the organization. They should have been out there with sharp spokespeople years ago who stood up immediately FOR all boys but strictly heterosexual leaders. Their stupidity in letting the left frame the whole thing (just like R´s) has led to this and we will see worse too.

Before each meeting scouts and leader recite the BSA Oath. Why are there people on the BSA board who don´t believe in this Oath? That´s the biggest problem with the National Office.

Scouts just released files concerning Homosexual molestation of scouts in the past. Now they want to make it easier for them.

What the National BSA Board is saying is the Oath means whatever you want it to mean. Don´t look us (a group of moral cowards) to stand behind anything.

UPS, AT&T, and other corporation need to feel the fire of the majority of people not just the "gay"lobby.

I am curious. Progressives don´t seem to have any problems sending young boys/men away in the care of some meat gazing perv. How would they react to their daughter in the care of a scout leader who is an 18 year old heterosexual male with raging hormones? Might make camping interesting.

Yet another civic-minded, ethical national organizations surped by statist PC bullies determined to fragment the entire USA?! The statists are taking over the benevolent NGOs to the detriment of each, one by one, and the country which these benevolent organizations have always so generously served are deminished in the process. ...This will NOT work out well.

Sued if you do, sued if you don´t. The BSA was doomed once it fell under the malevolent gaze of the politically correct. The PC are bullies and who are easier to bully than children?

Reinventing the BSA into a church-based group, accepting the transfer of the same awards and same badges is a reasonable solution (Kind of like the PCA being a refuge from the PCUSA). Too bad about the property.
