Boy Scouts’ Final Stand, Rally on Wednesday

BOYSCOUTS (620-230)Scout Delegates Vote Next Thursday in Grapevine, Rally on Wednesday to Welcome Delegates

After the successful efforts back in February to delay the BSA Executive Council’s attempt to change the Boy Scouts membership policy, the out-of-touch BSA leadership has now put forward a resolution that is even more troubling than the proposed policy in February. The proposed resolution would allow open homosexuality in the Boy Scouts and would foster it on boys in all scouting units. The resolution will be voted on by the BSA delegates at the May 22-24 National Annual meeting in Grapevine, Texas.

This incoherent policy was proposed in spite of the fact that the vast majority of Scouts and parents are supportive of their current membership policy and want to see the Scouts continue to stand for their timeless values. In fact, BSA’s own official survey shows that a supermajority of respondents support the current, time-tested membership policy. And as mentioned, the proposed policy would force all chartered scouting units, including the 70% chartered by churches, to facilitate open homosexuality in their program.

We implore the delegates voting next week in Texas to affirm Scouting’s current membership policy.
