I hope our local troops take a stand against it, or my kids will never be a part of it. I may even stop admitting Im an eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And others) This story is truly a tragedy. Quoting from the news article link: “The pulse of equality is strong in America, and today it beats a bit faster with news that the Boy Scouts may finally put an end to its long history of discrimination,” said Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign. “Our nation and its leaders respect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender citizens, and it’s time the Boy Scouts echo those values. Zach Wahls, a gay Eagle Scout and founder of Scouts for Equality, said the proposed change “would be an incredible step forward in the right direction.” My translation of the above: "The pulse of SIN is strong in America, and today it beats a bit faster with the news that the morality of the Boy Scouts may finally put an end to it's morality that it has held on to for years. Those of us who embrace this LGBT filthy sinful lifestyle are rejoicing as we continue to twist words to fit our sinful meanings. We are so PROUD that we have been able to change the clear meaning of words to fit our sinful agenda. Words like "gay, rainbow, discrimination, values, respect, tolerance, human rights, diversity" and many more..." We as sinful people hate God and His morals, and in so doing, we rejoice in the LGBT lifestyle and the fact that we are getting over some of the last hurdles of morality in this nation, so that we can pervert the minds of all youth at every level... We will uphold our "gay Eagle Scout" poster child up high for all of the younger "intolerant" minds to see. And in so doing, we hope to bring CHANGE... The "real" agenda of the LGBT, from the article, "bullying" and "moral compromise": "If the BSA board “capitulates to the bullying of homosexual activists,” added Mr. Perkins, “the Boy Scouts’ legacy of producing great leaders will become yet another casualty of moral compromise." This really summarizes from the article what the Boy Scouts "should" continue to do: "The Boy Scouts should stand firm in their timeless values and respect the right of parents to discuss these sexual topics with their children.” For those who may not know, the Girl Scouts have embraced much of the LGBT lifestyle for years. I have a niece that in part is "homosexual" because of their wicked teachings... From an older, yet still relevant article: "When many parents think of Girl Scouts, they imagine young girls in uniform selling Thin Mints and Tagalong cookies – not learning about stone labyrinths, world peace, global warming, yoga, avatars, smudging incense, Zen gardens and feminist, communist and lesbian role models.

The Human Rights Campaign, a pro-gay rights advocacy organization, told BSA's corporate sponsors that it would downgrade their "non-discrimination ratings" if they continued to give money to BSA, according to NBC News. According to a review of corporate giving to BSA in 2010 conducted last September by The American Independent, 23 of the top 50 corporate foundations gave at least $10,000 to BSA. Those sponsors included Bank of America, Intel, UPS, U.S. Bank, Verizon and Wells Fargo. The largest donation in 2010, $700,000, came from Intel. Some donations were directly from the company. Other donations were through matching funds programs in which company employees choose the charity and the company would match a certain amount for every dollar given by the employee.

Yet, they are being pressured by people who donate just part. It appears that the squeakiest wheel gets the grease. Perhaps others ought to squeak louder!
