Unfortunately the Democrats started this years
ago with Clinton/Gore leading the charge. There was even
an
organized protest against Eagle Scouts at the Democratic National
Convention in 2000. I refuse to
give
to United Way due to their discrimination against Boy Scouts as well. I wonder
why the Democrats
are so
insistent about getting gay leaders alone with young cub/boy scouts.
fyi -
regarding religious content of BSA:
The single largest sponsor of the BSA
is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The next largest sponsor is
the Catholic Church. Both churches are regarded as "chartering organizations"
because they pay the cost of chartering Scout units each year. The two churches
teach that homosexuality is a sin, and officials from both have told
WorldNetDaily that their organizations will cease to charter Boy Scouts if
homosexuals are permitted to participate. The two churches represent over 33
percent of all members of the BSA.

Subject: [RR] Boy Scouts attacked by Satan--
again
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.
