Many LDS church wards have been disregarding BSA policy and including gay youths in scouting activities. Generally, Mormon leaders believe including “chaste gays” in scouting is positive.

LDS church is largest sponsor of the Boy Scouts in the U.S.

I suspect many children who start the path don't have a clue about their sexual orientation.


...if the current genesis of early teens catalogue and classify themselves as gay or straight...they must be the first to do so!

FACT: private organizations, like the BSA, can and do legally have the right to refuse anyone, anyone, as a member, can refuse Jews, blacks, asians, gays, anyone

Make a club yourself right now, you can legally decide who can join.

There are rules that define club or organization for this legal interpretation

Remember Augusta National Golf Club where they play the Masters?

They have legally refused to admit women for 80 years, and just changed that policy a year ago.

This is a play for Obama stash- you know the kind that has caused multi-trillion dollar deficits.

Donald, you continually show yourself to be young, naive, immature, and quite ignorant.

You could not factually debate a high school kid on federal deficits.

Twice now on this page you tried real hard to take a shot at "liberals' and "obama"

you are sick, stupid, youngster who needs his ass kicked

in fact, you remind me a lot of Skipt, who got banned here for his arrogant ignorance

he IS your cousin, is he not? Just like you, dumb and dumber

Are Homosexuals Allowed to Join Scouts Canada?

Scouts Canada does not discriminate for reasons of gender, culture, religious belief or sexual orientation.

(Also, girls have been allowed in scouts in Canada since '98.)

I'd rather have a gay scout leader then the Catholic priest who traditionally was a Boy Scout leader in Canada. I spent a couple weeks in Boy Scouts when I was younger, but my Spidey sense told me there was something wrong about that priest who liked to watch boys shower.

Thank-you lord for bringing DOnald to us. Us sinners might never know the error of our ways without his guiding light based on your everlasting immutable laws.. and infitesimal and narrow way .. smaller than camels and needles and such.. he left out that quantum mechanics shite.. funny god has sense of humor.

There is no way but the true way.. and error hath no fury like gods vengeance

thank-you for providing Jesus who taught that no man may enter the kingdom of god. FULL STOP

-


OK f*#k that..

Jesus was way freaking cool... he said there were only two rules

Love god (good stuff I suppose)

Love Others as yourself

Works for me.. well when I'm having a good day but I do try.

ZBrown! Yep! We never had that particular salute taught to us, but we would have been quite excited to do something so cool.

Boy scous = paramilitary Christian youth.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramilitary

Specific Examples:

The AUC (Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia), Self-Defense Units of Colombia.
The Blackshirts of Fascist Italy
The Basij of Iran
The Fedayeen Saddam of Ba'athist Iraq
The Patriotic Guards of Communist Romania.
The Schutzstaffel (SS), Sturmabteilung (SA), and Hitlerjugend (HJ) of Nazi Germany

The Scout Oath

On my honor, I will do my best,

To do my duty to God, and my country,

and to obey the scout law;

To help other people at all times;

To keep myself physically strong;

Mentally awake, and morally straight.


on the other hand,


The Scout Law

A scout is

Trustworthy - Loyal - Helpful - Friendly

Courteous - Kind - Obedient - Cheerful

Thrifty - Brave - Clean - Reverent.


Where are the *'s?
Exceptions apply.

Mr. ZzzzzzzzzzzBrown:
The typical baby boomer liberal from the sixties equating the BSA with Nazis. Maybe that's what will attract gay men who want to be around children.

Not at all Donald. I don't see any equation in the post. Just a warning.

You calling the Nazis queer?

The indoctrination into weird ideas is the issue here. Could have put of some photos of the kids at Jonestown.

Liberally speaking that is, baby. BTW, I boomed in 1946.

(Homer at Moe's bar, reminiscing on his trip with Bart to a steel mill to try and steer him straight.)

Homer: "...and the entire steel mill was gay."
Moe: "Where have you been Homer? The entire steel industry is gay!"

if the 25% gay rate among males is true,


It's not true. Most rigorous, academic estimates is around 3-5%.

And this matters why?

Plus I'm pretty sure it's higher among republicans.
