Why does this have to be so complicated to understand? We all take an oath and have to follow the Scout Law. If there are practices and or rules that a particular youth disagrees with, then he should be encouraged to seek out membership in another youth development organization. Also if a Scout is an atheist he can’t become an Eagle Scout. We also say the Pledge of Allegiance to chagrin of many I’m sure. Scouting is a wonderful organization why attack them for their beliefs? Shouldn’t they be extended the same rights to practice as they choose under the rights of our constitution? I understand and embrace diversity and I believe the best way to illustrate that is not by attacking but rather by acceptance. Which is really what I believe the LGBT community seeks.

Proud Eagle Scout
