"Today, following this review, the most comprehensive listening exercise in Scouting's history the approximate 1,400 voting members of the Boy Scouts of America's National Council approved a resolution to remove the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone. The resolution also reinforces that Scouting is a youth program, and any sexual conduct, whether heterosexual or homosexual, by youth of Scouting age is contrary to the virtues of Scouting. A change to the current membership policy for adult leaders was not under consideration; thus, the policy for adults remains in place. The BSA thanks all the national voting members who participated in this process and vote."

As a former Assistant Scout Master, I wonder if they will have to go with three deep leadership now to keep track of the boys and make sure everything is benign in those tents. It is a great program for young men; damn shame it has to come down to politics.

You think this debate is over? Scout Leadership is next. The advocates have already said so.

You think because your state voted in gay marriage that it is over (MN just voted it into place a week ago)?

No...this is just the beginning. Just wait for the anti-bullying legislation to kick in.

This is pretty much like Don't ask , Don't tell.
Gays were already in the club...now they are just acknowledged.

Ps. I thought joining the boy scouts made you gay anyway

Statistically speaking, it made you Mormon.
