CB,

but not all gay men are interested in little boys. Similarly, not all heterosexual men are interested in little girls. We'd be foolish to say it doesn't happen, but I just think that making a hard and fast rule, "no gays," is unfair.

This is a stupid idiotic argument and you should know it - you have teenage sons. But maybe you don't because you have never mentioned daughters.

Ok - it works with Cub Scouts, but we are discussing Boy Scouts which is ages 11 to 18. Notice the range.

No one would seriously argue that heterosexual males could or should manage teenage girls aged 14-18 alone in back country, so please explain to me why homosexual males are so much more chaste?

Already because of numerous cases of this the BSA has adopted stringent 2 deep policies to try to prevent abuse, but it happens. The case in question involved a single gay male aged 22. How is it that he would have no interest in boys only 4 and 5 years younger than him?

Homosexual politics is very PC - so everyone concentrates on the 11 year old child and decries being accused of pedophilia. What about the 17 year old?

How would you manage this process? How would you prevent multiple gays from entering Troops (to defeat the 2 deep rule)?

When you say this is ridiculous - Packs on the West Coast now do police background checks because it has happened.

Having said that my Troop had a better rule - parent and grandparent only leaders. I am sure the ACLU would find a problem with that as well.
