The National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America met in February and learned that registration fees for 2013 totaled $1.76 million less than the previous year and more than $2.5 million less than was budgeted.
Though many causes contributed to the membership losses, the most significant was a decision by the National Council in May 2013 to allow openly homosexual Scouts into the program. Almost immediately, a new alternative group called Trail Life USA organized. That group now has approximately 600 units of Trailmen in more than 40 states.
This is what happens when you cater to a minority group rather than the majority who pay the bills.

In short:
Boy scouts allow gays.
People leave for a group who supports traditional values

Democrats push for civil rights,
I dont make the news, I just report it here.
Democrats pretend to care about civil rights just to win minority voters. The truth is, democrats could not care less about your civil rights.
Democrats want to do something, issue a formal apology for voting against freeing the slaves, and issue a formal apology for the detainment of Japanese-Americans during world war II.
Then, obama needs to apologize for killing US citizens without due process.
All of which will happen right after you pull your head out of your ass.
Yeh, I'm sure there's been an enormous impact on the 38,000 troops in this country, along with the 44,000 cub scout troops.

Chicken Little often? Gay bash?
We always have a ton of kids sign up, but when its time to pay the 50$ fee, most dont bother to show back up.
If you took your child out of scouting because the group was no longer discriminating against gay children, you are an asshole.
If I took my son out of scouts because I do not want another boy looking at my sons ass, or making the moves on him, I am an asshole?

Additionally, I hope you don't involve your son in any activities where girls are present.

As an Eagle Scout; Yes, you are.

Parents should have to right to put their children in same sex organizations free from sexual temptation and pressure.

Why is it ok for a mother to keep her daughter away from boys who may make a move on her, but when a parent wishes to keep their son away from gay boys, the parent is a bigot?

Perhaps you haven't heard of the Explorer program, it is open to both sexes and allows for mixed troops.
