Here are some points that need be addressed. The homosexual agenda seeks to infiltrate all aspects of our society. The military recently banned the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy. Since this happened the assaults in the military have risen. The military released the figures that 12,000 women and 14,000 men have reported assaults. The gay agenda is achieving it's goal of forcing their homosexual lifestyle on the military community, and causing strife. The BSA is a prime target for forcing their lifestyle on innocent boys. Homosexuals are predators and their prime target is young boys. The LCMS can not allow the BSA to be connected with our churches. This will send a message that we condone the homosexual lifestyle. We could also be letting our churches open to discrimination lawsuits, if in the future, we state that homosexuals can not be in our Scout groups. I would suggest that we encourage all Scout groups, connected to our church, to join similar groups. This would show that we are not against the scouting program, but only the agenda that the national BSA has adopted.
