My understanding is they will let whoever is sponsoring the trroop decide to admit gays or not. since many troops are sponsored by churches, doesn't that mean many troops will remain gay free?
It is safe to say that if the national organization changes its membership policy and puts most membership decisions in the hands of the individual chartering organizations (i.e. the franchisees, if you will) that some of them, maybe even many of them, will maintain the current membership restriction around homosexuality. But, I also believe there could be growth in the number of chartering organizations as some groups seek to promote membership for homosexual youth and adult volunteers.My understanding is they will let whoever is sponsoring the trroop decide to admit gays or not. since many troops are sponsored by churches, doesn't that mean many troops will remain gay free?
That's what I see happening, and that's where the backlash has come from. People have used it as a slippery slope example and said, "Well, if the chartering organizations can make the decisions... what prevents them from keeping out kids that are (FILL IN RACE, RELIGION, ETC.)It is safe to say that if the national organization changes its membership policy and puts most membership decisions in the hands of the individual chartering organizations (i.e. the franchisees, if you will) that some of them, maybe even many of them, will maintain the current membership restriction around homosexuality.

Dressed in a Boy Scout uniform, the pop star told the audience, "I wanted to be a Boy Scout but they wouldn't let me join... I can build a fire. I know how to pitch a tent... Listen, I want to do good for the community. Most importantly, I know how to scout for boys!"

The Boy Scouts of America is proposing to lift the ban for youth members but continue to exclude gays as adult leaders.The Scouts announced Friday that the proposal would be submitted to the roughly 1,400 voting members of its National Council at a meeting in Texas the week of May 20.
In all seriousness - does anybody give a hoot about the Boy Scouts anymore - other than gay rights activists? They were founded back before most Americans had cars. It's one of those things like little league baseball that is declining, which has nothing at all to do with sexual orientation.
