Yep, under the leadership of former SecDef Robert Gates, the Scouts are going to allow homo leaders. Snuggle time for the boys, with rainbow daddies. Some disgusting chit, but then the Scouts have been under attack for years. The GSA went lesbian long ago. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/07/26/boy-scouts-gay-leaders/30711945/
The news said this was an effort to increase enrollment into the scouts from young people. Really? If I had a kid in the Scouts right now I'd yank them out immediately and fire off a letter to Scout HQ explaining exactly what I thought of their new policy.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

A totally meaningless gesture on your part. To do so would only have a negative impact on your son.
Scouting's policy is for adults to interact with scouts in pairs, for the protection of both the scout and the adult leader.
My Church cut ties with a BSA Troop that they had sponsored for years because of the homosexual Scout decision. The point being that decisions made at the National Level are likely to have a negative trickle-down impact at the Troop Level.

I wouldn't blame you one bit. There are still plenty of us that don't believe homosexuality is normal.
As a Scout for my entire life, and an Eagle Scout, I am saddened by this ruling.
I believed, deep down, that it was only a matter of time though; especially with all the BS surrounding the .gov getting involved with the bakers who didn't want to bake a fairy cake.
I am still, very much unhappy with this ruling.
Not because I think that allowing gay leaders is going to lead to more pedophiles getting in; if there's a pedophile in the ranks, generally speaking...they're quiet about their social life, and no one knows they're on that team...
Gay men are not attracted to every man they see; just ask straight women. I'm sure that I could probably find 1 or 2 women alive who don't think I'm attractive, and don't want to have sex with me.
No, I am frustrated because the Scout oath states that "I will keep myself morally straight". I do not believe that the LGBT community is "morally straight". That is up to each person to determine what that means to them.
I also am tired of PRIVATE organizations cowing down to the liberals, just because they get some pressure. I should be able to say who is permitted in my business/organization/etc without the Grubment stepping in. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
I was more than proud of the BSA in June 2000, when the Supreme Court ruled that they were WITHIN their rights to limit membership.
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!
were the Scouts not dependent on public space, or church space, for their meetings, they would have been able to go on without this 'arrangement'. Sad though, that it's the Christian Church that seems to be the biggest cheer leader for homos. Hard to get your mind around a Church shutting out Scouts for wanting to keep the kids 'morally straight'.
An earlier article said that local BS groups can still keep their prohibitions. This just gives them the option. This is just the start of our countries downfall. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Worse move ever.
With the corporate policy leaving to individual groups to make the choice, you can count on internal dissension, focused ridicule and scrutiny, separation, and all sorts of politics.
Our troop voted to not allow Gay leaders.Yet the future of scouting in America rests with the BSA to recruit from the hispanic population in the cities. The cub scout recruiting and retention numbers are down and the future of scouting rests with being able to recruit Hispanic family's.

Que the Presbyterian Church.
Not only internal dissension, but what it does is leave their fannies hanging out in the breeze. Does anyone think that BSA HQ is going to come rushing to the defense of a troop that says no to perverts?

Great to hear!!

Also, as a father of a young one, I have looked into some "Traditional Scouting" groups like the Baden Powell Society. I found they absolutely allow homo scout leaders.
The BSA was on the outside in this and maybe stood to lose ground to these other organizations.

There were, as of last month, six young men in the Boy Scouts on my road. As of the end of this month, only the young man completing his Eagle Scout project will still be a Scout; the rest have left with their parents over this decision.
I can't imagine that such an incident is isolated, and if happening across the country will determine the fate of Scouting.
