I couldn't agree with this person more. I was a scout, and loved it. Someday, if ever I have a son, I hope he becomes a scout as well. For all those opposed to the Boy Scout's position on homosexuals as Scout Leaders, have we learned nothing from the Catholic church and their pedophile priests problem? I guarantee you that if the Boy Scouts allowed openly gay men to be scout leaders, it would only be a matter of time before we start reading headlines about sexual abuse by those so - called leaders. If Philanthropicky wants to have gay men camping with boys, let her form her own organization, and let us see how many parents enroll their sons.
