And another American institution destroyed

It's an all boy/man organization. Letting in a person that is gay is the same as letting a female in, IMO. They might find themselves with a hefty lawsuit if there's an "incident" during a camp out. However, who's to say they don't already have gays/pedo's in there already? I am not familiar with how membership works though. Do they have a screening process or is it a "Fill this form out and you're in" kind of thing. How many people would come out and say "I'm gay!" that are trying to join BSA or would announce it if they are already in it?

You have to have a background check run if your going to be a leader and also take their Youth Protection Course.

Good to know. Thanks for the info. I'm still willing to bet there's plenty of gays already in there that just don't publicize it and probably wouldn't even if they started accepting gays officially.
