- I don't agree that the discussion over the issue of homosexuality is
- inappropriate for this newsgroup. As Scouters in the BSA it is our duty to
- examine the policies of the BSA as to their effect on Scouts, Scouters, and
- the Scouting Program. If Scouters in the BSA can not debate these policies
- (yes, I realize that debate hasn't always been the case in this thread) in
- an open, informal, and accepting manner, then this organization will grow
- old, feeble, and eventually die. Only by showing our courage to examine
- ourselves, National's policies, and the effects on the program can we hope
- to continue to provide a program that teaches Scouts to grow into the best
- person possible. And, in this manner, we can keep the organization young,
- vibrant, and attractive to Scouts.
