Boy Scouts to sell Girl Scout cookies too?

quote:

The Boy Scouts of America has moved one step closer to ending its ban on gay adults as leaders.

The organization's executive committee adopted a resolution last week that would change policy.

"This resolution will allow chartered organizations to select adult leaders without regard to sexual orientation, continuing Scouting's longstanding policy of chartered organizations selecting their leaders," the Boy Scouts said in a statement Monday.
quote:

"This change allows Scouting's members and parents to select local units, chartered to organizations with similar beliefs, that best meet the needs of their families. This change would also respect the right of religious chartered organizations to continue to choose adult leaders whose beliefs are consistent with their own," it read.

The national executive board is expected to meet to ratify the resolution on July 27.

The Boy Scouts of America voted in 2013 to allow gay youths into the organization. In May, the president of the group called for it to end its ban on gay adults.

Gonna be tough to get parents to allow their boys to go on those backpacking trips.

Sure does seem that it's really important to the gays to get to take a bunch of little boys out in the woods alone overnight.

This would be remarkably similar to letting a man lead a girl scout troop...

except they arent showering with the girls.

can we petition to have men leaders share facilities on girl scout overnight trips?

eta get ready for all the "isolated incident" scout-rape stories that you are forbidden to make a generalization from.

i'm just saying, that sounds a whole lot worse doesnt it?

whats the difference with gay men running around the showers on overnight trips who are attracted to males?

WHAT. could possibly go wrong.

eta it worked out so well for frank selas



quote:

Selas claimed he had lived and worked in no less than 31 countries as part of his studies into Child Psychology (see article below)

Former Principal of St. Anthony Catholic Indian Mission School, Zuni, New Mexico

Former “Mr. Wonder” on popular children’s TV show in Monroe, Louisiana. Wanted for molestation of six young boys during 1979 summer camp.

Thought to have fled to South America .


i was on his show as a kid and remember him patting me on the shoulder after i put together a light bulb.

you do realize most eagle scouts earn their badges at 16 or 17 right?

someone posts a pic of a hot female 19yo SI model and a hot 17yo instagram photo i doubt we'd see a whole lot of OTers going 'not attracted to #2, just #1'

you want to tell me at 15 or 16 or 17 years old a gay scout leader showering with these kids wouldn't find them attractive?

eta you ready to send your kid out on an overnight trip to find out?

If I was a gay guy I would want no part of it, unless I had a kid who was in the group. No matter what you do, you can't entirely eliminate the prospect of some parent or kid making an accusation that is incredibly stigmatizing even if baseless.

It sucks, but that's how it is. I'd also prefer not to host a sleepover for my non-existent daughter and her little girl friends without my non-existent wife there. The world is just too fricked up, appearance of impropriety and what not.
