Boy Scouts New Membership Policy Proposal

The Boy Scouts of America has released the new proposal on the membership policy.  The new policy will allow gays in Scouting but Scouts, whether gay or not, will still need to live by the principles in the Scout Oath and Law and Duty to God.  Try and figure that one out.  How does one live the principles of the Scout Oath and Law and keep your Duty to God if you are gay?  Vote on the new proposal will be at the National Convention May 22-24.  The Boy Scouts are still in a ‘No Win” situation.

Read BSA statement

Reuters posted a good article concerning the BSA announcement today on gays being allowed to join.  read article
