Boy Scouts of America—Morally Straight?




I was a Boy Scout.  My sons were Boy Scouts.  The organization has a scout oath, and a scout law.  I took the oath; I followed the law.  It made me a better boy; it made me a better man.  I was not alone; it is the largest youth organization in the United States.  I wonder how much longer it will be?

Until now, here is what the Scout Oath said:

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

Morally straight?

Now, in May of 2013 I weep for the Boy Scouts of America. 

The Boy Scouts of America has been pressured into capitulating to the so called Gay Rights agenda by accommodating to their promotion of their perverted life-style.
  
I deplore the forced corruption of this once fine institutional contributor to the making of men—men of integrity and sound morals and manly qualities. 

I feel very sorry for the executives and leaders of the B.S.A.  I thank them for their wonderful contribution to life lessons for generations of millions of boys like me. I am glad I was taught the Scout Law—to be ‘clean, [and] reverent.’ And I am glad it was part of their mission to ‘reinforce ethical standards’ in my life and the life of my boys. 

I am sorry I can no longer support what they are forced to distort.
