The Boy Scouts Is a Christian organization. Those that want to join should be aware of that fact. Those that can’t accept that revelation should endeavor to form their own program that reflects their particular ideology. I was a Boy Scout and a Scout Master. During my troop gatherings Christianity or sexuality was never discussed. Those subjects were left to parents and the church. My focus was on tying knots, pitching tents, fire prevention and a general respect for Earth and her creatures. To pin a sexual handle on a child is abusive and immoral. We should let our children grow into the lifestyle that suits them and not brand them fresh out of the womb.

If they DO allow this nonsense, the Boy Scouts WILL have failed, & will deserve it.

If they start some sort of 'rainbow scouts', will there be straight (normal/non-deviant) leaders allowed?!
