If the rumors I hear are true I am simply appalled. how could you turn your back on God and HIS word?? How could you throw away over a century of tradition values and raising boys to be morally straight?? you think that if you lets gays in the scout that will be the end?? They will not give up till you celebrate and actively PROMOTE their lifestyle. If it was about getting a scouting experience for kids they could have come up with the gay scouts of America on their own. It isn't it's about destroying all that is Godly and all that acknowledges God and HIS LAWS and HIS MORALITY!!!! If you do this you will lose MANY scouts as they will be pulled OUT of your organization by their parents. If you are having financial problems speak to conservative business' and organizations they will be glad to help. My grandpa was a eagle scout and I am sure he is rolling over in his grave at the thought of this. I wouldn't worry about PR and what the homosexually lobby can do to you I would, if I were you, be worried about what GOD can do and what HE will say to you. Do you want Jesus to tell you "I am disappointed in you"??? or worse "depart from me I never knew you"??? Once you start down this road there is no turning back the homosexually lobby will see to that. If you truly care for boys and want them to be fine upstanding members of society REJECT this ungodliness and STAND for GOD. If you are determined to destroy this great organization at least have the decency to fold the organization completely instead of allowing the abomination to be spread to our youth. At least then when people reflect on the boy scout they will have only positive things to say. Do not dishonor the boy scouts of past generations by turning this generation over to perversity. I enjoy boy scout popcorn and would hate to have to stop buying it but I could not support a organization that lets homosexuals come in knowing they will eventually be teaching the boys how to have gay sex in you tent without any other tents knowing. You think you have sex abuse problems with scout masters now you let this "reform" pass through a every teen age boy will be a target as they gays think teen adult sex is normal and wonderful. Like all perverts they think the victim actually wants the sex. God has enough to be mad at America about don't add this. You must "nobly save NOT meanly lose this last best hope of our youth". May God Bless You and GUIDE you greatly in this decision.
