The resolution was submitted by a Scout leader from the Northeast "But there's no question it's costing the Boy Scouts in terms of membership and public support."
What a crock. Whatever imagined loss it's costing them is nothing compared to the real loss it will cause them should they cave. I promise you, my son will be removed from the program immediately should they change their policy. Their steadfastness to NOT give in to declining social norms is one of the MAIN reasons we are in the program to begin with. Most packs are sponsored by churches so they'll have some say in it as well.
Having said all that, they of course will cave eventually. Everyone does.
