"LCMS relationship with BSA ‘no longer tenable’ "

And so for the "best course of action for the LCMS," Pres. Harrison and Exec. Dir. Day

"are calling for the establishment of a task force to consider Scouting and the involvement of the LCMS going forward. The landscape and intersection of church and world -- including Scouting -- has drastically changed since our Synod’s decision on Scouting matters in the 1950s."

Wait!! What?!?

Wasn't the Memorandum of Fabulous Understanding with Scouting and its policy of openly homosexual Scouts and Scoutmasters just trashcanned?!?

Since a Federal Charter gives the BSA exclusive right to the names “Boy Scouts of America”, “Scout”, “Boy Scouting”, and “Scouting”, as used within the United States, Trail Life USA and other organizations for boys are not allowed to use the term "Scouting" or "Scouts." (GSUSA has a similar Federal Charter and exclusive use of “Girl Scouts”, “Girl Scouting”, etc.)

It is incongruous that the LCMS warns its member congregations about the dangers and legal hazards associated with BSA troop charters, then turns around and promotes establishing a task force to positively consider LCMS involvement with the homosexual Scouting organization.
