"I am grateful that the Boy Scouts Executive Board had decided to take time to more carefully consider the future of the BSA and to facilitate a discussion with the National Council in May. I am still greatly concerned that an unyielding outside group is determined to force their views not only on BSA National but to bully their opinions over my and many other BSA chartering organizations 1st Amendment rights. The single minded agenda to have Scouting conform to their view or destroy it even when churches like mine have been very active in building, supporting and sustaining Scouting for 100 years is more than frustrating and feels more like I'm being persecuted for my beliefs. It is my hope that peace will be restored and that a different 'Scouting' organization can be organized so the Scouting program I have been part of for 14 years and has contributed so much good to this country can continue."

Not allowing him to shit on Gays is total OPPRESSION.

His wife's opinion:

"In the Scout Oath, every Scout promises to act with integrity -- that's what it means to be 'morally straight.' The Boy Scouts of America has a similar obligation to stay true to itself and its mission to help boys become honorable men. Although I think the compromise they suggested is a reasonable one, I don't begrudge BSA National taking extra time to make sure they are doing the right thing for Scouting."

Remember kids:  Gays cannot be honorable.

"I for one am excited and happy that the gay issue with BSA has been tabled, and the scouts are safe once again, for now. I do not nor will I accept a gay leader to lead and mentor my son, anywhere. Young boys minds are very impressionable. I'm not saying that gays would touch my son physically, but could effect him mentally."

GAYS WOULD TOTALLY RECRUIT HER KID!

"The last line in the Boy Scout Oath says that Scouts will do their best to keep themselves morally straight.  The left-leaning liberals in this world are tearing at the very moral fibers that have held this country together for nearly 250 years.

This is why we were successfully invaded and conquered by the USSR.

Because Liberals ate our moral fiber.

Oh that just guarantees her kid is going to LOVE cock.

First thing i thought, too.


her parents probably made fun of retarded kids in school.

It's really sad, man.  I was in scouting for over ten years, growing up.  You learn valuable skills, make great friends, appreciate being outdoors.

Then a bunch of dickheads have to go and fuck that up with hate.

I was in for a year, when I first moved to the USA.

Then they threw me out because I wasn't a Southern Baptist.

Fuck them.  I wouldn't have my kids anywhere near their brownshirt bullshit.

If her child is among the gays, then they may seem them act, they may see them live, they may hear them speak and see how they carry themselves abroad in the face of the sun and all others, as all others do. 

Her child may never say them kiss, her child is most unlikely to ever see them fuck.  Her child may see them behave themselves well, be mentors and guardians.

Her child may see decent people, and that is not something she can abide.

I was technically part of the scouts.  They backed up our high school's camping club as a venture crew.  Still have the card in an old wallet somewhere.

That being said, I have met TWO Eagle Scouts in my life who can tie a knot when they damn well need too.  To toot my own horn, I can tie all of mine in the dark, wet, and cold, when it matters.

There is iron in these words.
i think that's the crux of it.

I used to be a scout, here in the UK.  I'm surprised the global Scouting organisations don't have something to say about this.  Or have the American Scouts seperated from that?

The BSA doesn't really accept the fact that filthy foreigners can actually be scouts.  I mean, it was invented by an American, right?

[Juana]

Aww, poor widdle assholes, being asked to be decent human beings. Whatever shall they do?

I'm having one of those moments where I'm glad I was a girl scout. I have a few problems with some of their official policies regarding teh ghey ("don't ask, don't evangelize" back in 1991, which they should update because that's bullshit), but they're actively inclusive of anyone who identifies as a girl and some troops have offered Planned Parenthood approved sex ed.

I used to know a bunch of Eagle Scouts. They called those ones "paper eagles", since I guess you can get the badge without doing certain things.

Oh yes, too true.  They're bigoted and quite religious, so it would stand to reason they are a) ahistorical, and b) don't value what other Scouting groups around the world think of them.  Persecution just proves how right they are, after all.

I'm actually really quite attached to the Scouts in England.  They taught me a ton of useful stuff, from basic survival to (of course) knots, teamwork and leadership.  And while we did have the whole "going to Church and saluting the Queen" thing going on, no-one took it seriously.  And the Scouts were very keen on recuiting girls, it was a point of pride to have a group with a roughly equal gender mix (if very rare).  Bigotry of any sort was completely frowned upon, and if people had religious objections to going to church, for whatever reason, there were exemptions.  Although "it's boring" is, apparently, not a valid one, much to my younger self's dismay.
