If you haven't already read my previous article on the Boy Scouts of America, it would probably be a good idea to do that before reading this one. In any event, this 'update' will be brief and I sure wish it wasn't on the order of 'I told you so' news.
Utah - several boy scouts marched in Utah's gay pride parade on Sunday, June 2nd. Additionally, several of those who marched wore their uniforms, which was in blatant defiance of the Great Salt Lake Council's admonition not to. Rick Barnes, chief scout executive of the Great Salt Lake Council told NBC, "We do not, as Boy Scouts, show support for any social or political position. We're neutral." Another spokesman at the national headquarters of the BSA told the Daily News, "These individuals stated a personal opinion and do not represent scouting". Sorry guys - those day are gone forever - the rest of the story is yet to come!
A recent article in American Thinker points out that in his dissenting 2000 Supreme Court decision, Justice Stevens declared, "it is plain as the light of day that neither one of these principles -- 'morally straight' and 'clean'.....says the slightest thing about homosexuality." Additionally, as I have said, this will be both a legal and moral disaster because the scouts will no longer be able to legally argue against the inclusion of homosexual leaders and be victorious. How can they when they have ignored their own 'moral absolutes' and acquiesced to allowing openly homosexual youth the ability to join? This decision has endless consequences.

The truth is, the Boy Scouts of America we have known is dead
