[RR] Boy Scouts attacked by Satan-- again

[Daniel P. Clark]

I don’t know how many of you heard about it, but Satan and his minions at the ACLU are at it again.  The US Military caved in and agreed to enforce its rule not to “officially” sponsor Boy Scout Troops.  The ACLU sued because sponsoring the Boy Scouts was violating the “separation of Church and State” idea that the Supreme Court established a few years back.  The ACLU has specifically targeted the Boy Scouts of America because they took a stand and discharge homosexual Scout Masters and insist the all scouts include “God” in the scout pledge.  The reports I read downplayed the short term effects of this plea agreement—the scout troops have switched sponsorship to VFW posts or something else.  However, it may have a tremendous impact in the long term—especially regarding Jamborees.    As an Eagle Scout, I am proud of the BSA and the stands they have made.  As a Gold Medal of Achievement earner and longtime RR commander, I believe Royal Rangers is the better program because it does a better job preparing a boy to be a Man of God.  However, when I was in scouts, one of the district officers told me that 40% of all scouts enter a Church for the first time as a result of Scouts.  We as a Church need to be supporting them in prayer and financially when possible.  Boy Scouts is another tool that God uses in this world to prepare boys for eternity.  I pray that the Holy Spirit will break the hearts of lawyers at the ACLU and strengthen the backbone of the Military commanders at the Pentagon!   BTW, this is yet another reason we need a true believer in the Whitehouse.  The courts must stop creating laws and quit messing around with there social experiments.   Daniel P.
