I was at scout camp last week. If I had to judge by one of the camp leaders I'd have to think that gays are already serving in the Boy Scouts.

After a confidential two-year review, the Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday emphatically reaffirmed its policy of excluding gays, ruling out any changes despite relentless protest campaigns by some critics.
An 11-member special committee, formed discreetly by top Scout leaders in 2010, "came to the conclusion that this policy is absolutely the best policy for the Boy Scouts," the organization' national spokesman, Deron Smith, told The Associated Press.Comment

The quote said "reaffirmed its policy of excluding gays," but gays are only excluded from being adult leaders, right? Is that the policy they are talking about?Originally posted by Scorcho View PostComment

I could be wrong, but I believe openly gay scouts are verboten as well. I know they don't allow atheist scouts. How strictly this is enforced probably depends largely on where you live.Originally posted by Jacob View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

My nonmember colleague used to be heavily involved in scouts. His troup was non-denominational. They had a volunteer that would coach the atheist scouts on how to answer the belief questions at a court of honor. He told me there was one scout that openly said 'no' to a belief of God question at his court of honor. They either called it off or reconvened it for a later date. Meanwhile, this volunteer offered his help. They somehow crafted an acceptable response that involved a love/belief in nature/God's creation.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

This outcome tells you the LDS church hasn't changed a much as some of you hope.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
