Boy Scouts ban on gay leaders could end

The Boy Scouts of America has moved one step closer to ending its ban on gay adults as leaders.

The organization's executive committee adopted a resolution last week that would change the policy.

"This resolution will allow chartered organizations to select adult leaders without regard to sexual orientation, continuing Scouting's longstanding policy of chartered organizations selecting their leaders," the Boy Scouts said in a statement Monday.

"This change allows Scouting's members and parents to select local units, chartered to organizations with similar beliefs, that best meet the needs of their families. This change would also respect the right of religious chartered organizations to continue to choose adult leaders whose beliefs are consistent with their own," it read.

The national executive board is expected to meet to ratify the resolution on July 27.

Scouts for Equality, an organization dedicated to ending the ban, cheered the news.

  2. Extremely stupid PC move. They will be sued to their last penny when one of the people they will be enabling takes advantage of a young scout. They are taking down barriers designed to protect the kids.

  3. Smart move on their part. It will eliminate the hatred filled religious nut jobs from the ranks.

  4. "Gay" isn't a synonym for "pedophile." Look at all of the news stories of the past few years involving teachers preying on opposite-sex students.

  7. @10:26 isn't Scouting based on God and values?? Why would someone want to join a group that doesn't share the same beliefs?

  8. This is sick. Gays are an abomination and sinful by disobeying the word of God! Kids should not be subjected to this perversion. What will he gays say on Judgment Day?? What will be their excuse for disobeying God??

    1. No you are abomination. If you dont like it don't put your kid in scouts. But please do the world a favor and don't raise your kids to hate something you don't understand.

  9. 12:45 Don't confuse that poor liberal 10:26. He/she doesn't have a clue.

    Let that loser keep ramming their webbed foot up their backside. It's quite entertaining.

  10. 11:12: You - with all due respect - are an idiot.
    I was molested when I was just a kid at a YMCA Summer Camp by two councilors in charge of us. I didn't even realize what had been done to me until many years later. Gay men like little boys. Fact. Period.

  11. Hey... "Scouts For Equality".... I would like to ask just one - just one - set of parents of a young boy that belongs to this organization, if they would be at all concerned if their child spent the night in a tent on bivouac with a Gay scout supervisor. Just one.

  12. 1:27 We need to raise them to hate the sin, not the person. That sin is an abomination to the Lord. Look it up.
