This may be an unpopular stance I agree. I have many gay family members. Scouting does not teach intolerance. Adults do. Scoutmasters are between a rock and a hard place. While many adults will protest the stance they still are not willing to let their sons go on camping trips with openly declared homosexuals. Just as unpopular is sending their daughter out with male Girl Scout leaders. Some ones orientation does not make them a threat. There are those that pray on children in all walks of life. People can claim anything however in a litigious society.
The good they do outweighs their flaws in my book. Just as the good the Salvation Army does outweigh their stance on gays also.
I have seen kids that lived in gang infested areas choose scouts over a life in the gangs. It's a choice they would not have had without scouting. Some of those kids are now contributing adults. I don't think some of them would have made it without scouting. Until some one builds a better organization though I will support Scouting for the good it does do.
I apologize to have have joined the fray here. This has nothing to do with Home Inspection.
