Boy Scouts of America's values affect membership criteria
According to its mission statement, the Boy Scouts of America seeks "to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law". All members are required, as a condition of membership, to promise to uphold and obey both of these pledges. The texts of BSA's Scout Oath and Scout Law for Boy Scouting have remained unchanged since they were approved in 1911, and every member agrees to follow them on their application form.
Scout Oath
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.Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.Spirituality has been an integral part of the international Scouting movement since its inception. As early as 1908, Scouting founder Robert Baden-Powell wrote in the first Scout handbook that, "No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws."

The evil New York Times is liberal and biased, sympathizing with homosexuals
and lesbians. I'm glad that the Boy Scouts are fighting to keep out
homosexuals (many of whom are pederasts who like little boys) from their
organization. Here are some of the New York Times headlines from July 19,
2012 all pertaining to the Boy Scouts saying “NO” to gay scout masters...

A Policy That Is Killing the Organization

Sexuality Is Not a Part of Scouts

Boy Scouts Are Ashamed of This Ban
Isn't that sickening? It's just a matter of time until the U.S. Supreme Court forces the Boy Scouts and other groups to permit gays into their organization. Thank God that there are still some decent, God-fearing, morally-based, organizations remaining in America who genuinely uphold FAMILY VALUES that made our nation great and strong in the past...
Isn't that beautiful...
As early as 1908, Scouting founder Robert Baden-Powell wrote in the first Scout handbook that, "No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws." [emphasis mine]
Amen and amen! I couldn't have said it any better myself! NO MAN IS MUCH GOOD UNLESS HE BELIEVES IN GOD AND OBEYS HIS LAWS. If the hellhole government school system wants to ban the Bible and prayer, teach the lies of evolution, pass out condoms like candy and push sex education on children... then you're a fool of a parent if you enroll your children into that type of devil's playground. Satan has bought and paid for the public school system. But the Boy Scouts are off-limits!!! The government can take a hike when it comes to telling private churches and organizations how to run their businesses.
God loves humanity, including homosexuals who despise and loathe God. God will forgive anybody, but if you don't confess that homosexuality is a wicked sin before God, then you are too proud to admit the truth. God saves sinners, not the self-righteousness who have no need of a Savior. 1st John 1:8-10 says anyone who denies that homosexuality is a sin is calling God a LIAR! That goes for all sins! Although born-again Christians do often live in horrible sin, they don't defend and deny those sins, because they've repented when they got saved, admitting that they are a sinner. A person cannot get saved without acknowledging one's sinnership (Romans 3:19).
The sins of Sodom were many, but
the most notable sin was homosexuality (as evidenced in Genesis 19:1-11).
Also, we read in Jude 1:5 and 7, I will therefore put you in remembrance,
though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of
the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. ... Even as
Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving
themselves over to fornication, and going after
strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire.”
Co-Founder Of 'Scouting For All' Says Boy Scouts Causing Suicide
The Boy Scouts Are NOT Ashamed of This Ban, but the liars over at the New York Times want people to think so; thus, they print garbage like this article below...
This is the same malicious, lying, hateful propaganda hurled upon Christians by Sigourney Weaver and Hollywood in the disgusting movie, PRAYERS FOR BOBBY...

Boy Scouts Are Ashamed of This Ban

The Boy Scouts was never intended to be a bigoted, discriminatory, hateful organization. The scouting movement began in England in the early 1900s to let boys experience adventure and outdoor activities together. It was after Boy Scouts came to America that discrimination became a hallmark of scouting.
The organization's discrimination has no benefits; it teaches boys to hate, and tells gay youth that there is something wrong with them.
The Boy Scouts of America gets much of its support from the Mormon Church, and echoes its opposition to homosexuality. The sad thing is the Boy Scouts of America is just about the only nonreligious organization in America that still discriminates like this. If the Mormon chapters of the Boy Scouts of America want to discriminate against gays and atheists, then they can. But troops not associated with Mormon churches should not be forced to. There are hundreds of troops that don’t believe in discrimination and are ashamed of the national organization’s policies.
The Boy Scouts of America’s hurtful discrimination does nothing good for the organization. It teaches boys to hate other kids, and it tells gay youth that there is something wrong with them when there is not. The leading cause of death for gay youth is suicide, and the Boy Scouts of America is only contributing to this.
I learned so much and had such a great time as I became an Eagle Scout. All youth in America should be allowed to have the same opportunities I did.

The Boy Scouts AREN'T ASHAMED, but that's the lie the New York Times wants everybody to think. One former gay Girl (I mean, Boy) Scout claims to be ashamed! If he's gay he should be ashamed.
Steven Cozza is wrong in most of what he alleges. It is not hateful, bigoted nor discriminatory to set moral standards. If anyone is filled with hatred, it is the homosexual community that continually distort the facts and attempt to manipulate public opinion with ridiculous articles like this.
I mean, people are still required to wear clothing in public in most places, right? In Brattleboro, Vermont you can walk around butt naked legally (Woe unto the wicked!). Since American society rejects the Bible as the moral standard, then who decides what's acceptable? The homosexual community? It's not even the popular vote (majority of opinions) that determine our nation's laws and standards today; but rather, a small group of feminist whores, whoremongers and God-hating homosexuals that have taken over our nation at the highest levels. They've implemented their own system of immorality. They foolishly think they know more than the God of the Bible. Instead of obeying the Lord, they blaspheme Him and follow their own rule book. Hell will be hot enough I assure you.

Since when is teaching morality considered hate? Mr. Cozza is way out in left field here. The teaching of Biblical morality is not hatred against people; but rather, hatred for sin. Only a heathen fool can't see the difference. The Boy Scouts don't want homosexual Scout Leaders for a very good reason. The Roman Catholic Church has been plagued with homosexual priests and child molesters. The mainstream newsmedia fails to point out that behind the culture of pedophilia within the Catholic Church, there is a sodomite priesthood saturated with homosexuals (as high as 50% of all priests). Homosexuals and little boys don't mix.
Steven says that banning homosexual scout masters teaches gay youth that there is something wrong with them. That's because THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM!!! Psychiatrists until in recent decades treated homosexuality like a mental illness. Homosexuality is a CHOICE, a choice to do evil. No one is born gay, no one!
Biblical preaching does not teach kids to hate other kids. That's a vicious lie that homosexuals tell. Suicide is NOT the leading cause of death amongst gay teens, but that's what they what the public to believe. No one ever shows any sympathy for the families of Christian teens who've commit suicide due to rejection, peer pressure, problems at home, et cetera. Why all of this sympathy for homosexuals all of a sudden?
I'll tell you why, because Proposition 8 has gone to the U.S. Supreme Court and it's going to result in the legalization of same-sex marriages in America. God's judgment is long overdue in this wicked nation (Romans 1:32; Colossians 3:5-6; Jude 1:7-8). When I see the
We hear much nowadays from the homosexual community about being “born gay.” TV talkshow hosts, the newsmedia and medical professionals have bought into
the deception that some people are naturally born HOMOSEXUAL and can't help
it. Nothing could be further from the truth.
