<< I believe there are scoutmasters and assistant scoutmasters who aren't parents.
That would make me uncomfortable. >>
I'm sure it is the case, however. And you can see that if a boy, gay or straight, was a long time scout, he might at some point, before he was a parent, decide to become an assistant scoutmaster, and progress in the normal course of things to becoming a scoutmaster.
If there is no rule that only parents can be scoutmasters, then anyone, gay or straight, may apply, of course.
If you are a parent and a scoutmaster and your child grows up, you might well continue to be a scoutmaster, in the absence of a parents-only rule. |
