I’ve now read this form two sources, so it must be
legitimate. Here’s what the Deseret News has to say:
The executive committee of the Boy Scouts of America has
unanimously approved a resolution that would end the organization's blanket ban
on gay adult leaders and let individual scout units set their own policy on the
long-divisive issue.
In a statement Monday, the BSA said the resolution was
approved by the executive committee on Friday, and would become official policy
if ratified by the organization's larger National Executive Board at a meeting
on July 27.
There’s more detail at the Buzzfeed link, indulging test of
the resolution.
The BSA is also talking about it, as is the LDS Church.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens at the National
Executive Board meeting July 27. I've already expressed my thoughts on the matter.
Who is on that board?
Wikipedia has a list of 2011 board members – it’s not clear
from this list if that’s current membership.
Obviously, it’ll be interesting to see how this unfolds. And
it will unfold the week we’re at Scout Camp. Maybe the news will penetrate the news blackout you experience in the woods. Maybe not. As for me, I'm not ready to put on the sackcloth and ashes.
