In reply to Erich Faulstich (cubmaster).

Amen! Many denominations sponser scouting groups as an extension or outreach of their church. As a Christian there is nothing wrong with me explaining my values, should that be necessary, where there are any events my son is involved in. In fact if my children are to be involved in activities where a moral code of conduct is required I will ABSOLUTELY be involved in understanding that code. IF that code asks me or my children to lift up or call something acceptable which is NOT acceptable before God as determined directly from His Word (For example in Leviticus) then it won't happen. So much as I may be a leader(which I am) or parent with children in said organization It is both my right (In the United States) and my moral duty to God to proclaim the truth. How we proclaim truth is very important. I can't ever remember winning a single soul to the Kingdom through yelling and anger. In the end this is about allowing sexuality(of any type) into the BSA. Unfortunately that is exactly what has happened. And in so doing we have just placed an X on the back of any openly gay young men. We have singled them out. I know of no scout leaders that will allow tenting or showering privileges to openly gay young men. They will do these things by themselves. In our country the law of the land still says that you can not grant or gives as a right something to one person and thus infringe upon the rights or privacy of another. It is a convoulted argument all-around because of our country's newest religion, relativism. That is why we have the Word of God which is timeless. Perhaps we should all read it again, "for the first time".
