This is just sad. I have been involved with the Boy Scouts for over 30 years but stopped that involvement a few years ago. Part of it was over the gay thing. It wasn't boys being gay that bothered me as much as some noise from the "Man Boy Love Association" or what ever these perverts call themselves. I can't be involved in anything where grown men seem to think that it is OK to be sexually involved with a child.
I also began to worry that any boy that took a dislike to me could at any time accuse me of something bad and ruin my life with absolutely no proof whatsoever. Some people had commented that I had no sons yet worked with the BSA so I finally decided that I would just get out of the program.
I'm sorry that Halx and others have had a bad experience with the scouts and think that it has gone sort of wrong in the last decade or two. Too many rules, too much liberal thinking, and two much straying from the historical path.
They still teach some valuable lessons but it requires concerned, participating parents to work right.
The young man that the thread was started about is just an example of some of the ideals promoted by the scouts. Evidently the whole wheelchair thing isn't a concern to him. He is just doing something that he thinks is right.
Hopefully they will straighten themselves out before it is too late.
