-This pisses me off. Especially since my son is just getting into scouting. So many good things come from scouting...It's a shame this negative persists.

You would think the BSA would be very tolerant of gay scouts, considering alot of the Scout masters are wanting to fuck them. It really makes no sense.

Everyone knows that Jesus founded the Scouts and never would have toleratd gays taking part in these all male camp outs in the woods.

I feel sorry for the kid. It's kind of a big deal to make eagle.. If being a scout is supposed to teach you important life lessons I guess he learned the very most important one of all - no matter how hard you work, and no matter what you do, some other asshole will think they have the right to judge you and will try to fuck you around.

It's a HUGE deal. Shit looks great on your resume and if you enlist you automatically start a rank or two higher than you would.

just tell your son that if he wants to make into the exclusive homophobic club to not bang dudes.

I'm not concerned about my son. I am concerned about representing a bass ackwards organization that isn't in favor of equal rights.

^ some lessons ya' gotta' learn the hard way

yeah i suppose.. if your into that whole morality thing.

lovejah - I agree. The wife and I discussed scounting before we signed him up. We decided that at 7, he isn't old enough to understand what BSA is doing and the benefits outweigh the risks. When he's old enough to make his own decision, we'll make sure he's informed enough to decide for himself.

Life is weird sometimes. I dont want my kid hanging with an eagle scout who might want to earn the under ground merit badge at the expense of my sons asshole.

We all know gays are known to be rampant sex addicts that will stop at nothing to convert young american boys into soaring little butterflys and hanging at the man handler on friday nights.

Gay have a gay boy scouts....Nfl is for blacks, NBA is for blacks, MLB is for people who live near the equator, NHL is for whites and russians, boy scouts are for young straight men who we want to keep straight...Gayyys find a niche besides the parades..soar butterflys soar

hahahaha, good one smokey.

Why does the fact that he's seven and doesn't understand what they are doing is wrong even factor in?

What do you mean, dan?

I'm not trying to criticize your parenting I just don't get why you would sign him up to be a member of an organization that you don't agree with simply because he's not old enough to understand why you don't agree with them. Just seems backwards. I just don't see the point.
