So let the scouts die the death if that's the destiny they choose.

So be it. Let them eat the fruit of that decision alone.
We will be fine, but thanks for your concern.

I have, iff it was the parent out the scout. Just as there wasn't supposed to be one leader.

As I said earlier, just leave it to the charter organizations to decide. Many units where I grew up were used as a child group for a church. Only one Cub Scout pack and one Boy Scout troop by me had a PTA sponsorship and one had a "friends of troop ____" charter it. Perhaps make it easier to charter them by friends and do lone scout programs. I went through the program and my parents were unit commissioners, so I know what I am talking about.

Yep. A boy may share a tent with a parent but not with an unrelated adult.

There is a reason why reactionaries want to shape Boy Scouts policy to support their own religious intentions. Due to its federal charter, and dominate position in the marketplace of youth organizations, the Boy Scouts have influence on the level of compassion and consideration for others that the next generation will manifest, and have influence on the level of bigotry and hatred for others that the next generation will manifest. With the Boy Scouts moving away from religious reactionarism by adopting more policies that less antisocial, less Dominionistic, and less intolerant, people who prefer antisocial policies, Dominionistic policies and intolerant policies are justifiably motivated to try to stop the progress and roll it back if possible.

Evolution theory IS fact and homosexuals do not constitute a race.
I shouldn't have commented on this post since I realize now that it's ancient, but the poster must have been drunk or off his meds at the time.

Religion is not a race either

Who said homosexuality is a race? That is like saying it isn't racist to be against gay marriage. It is irrelevant and just a baseless excuse to condone your hatred towards gays.

My son is a scout. They do not shower with the leaders (generally the boys don't shower at all), they do not sleep in the same tent as the leaders, the leaders are not allowed to be alone with any boy that is not their child (two deep leadership).
LOL... I have two... boy is that accurate!


we don't agree on much but the above is just simple truth. Haha
