It's called legal liability my dear.  Do you want your son in a pup tent alone with an older gay man?  Even if nothing happens, the boy could accuse the Scout Leader.  BSA has wrestled with this for years but because camping is such a big component of scouting, BSA can't figure out a way to ensure that all the boys are safe in camping situations.  Did you know that a Boy Scout father-leader cannot be put in a tent with a boy other than his son?  Again, it's liability.  One one camping trip my DH had to go sleep in his car because the only available tents had boys other than his son in them.  That's not allowed.  BSA leaders have to go through serious on-site training.[/quote]

Our friends have two DDs and the dad wanted to be involved with their Girl Scout troops. He even took the GS parent training classes, for the super-involved parents. But at no point is he ever allowed to be alone with a girl. There has to be another, female, parent leader with him whenever he's with the girls. He doesn't have a problem with this, because it also protects him (and he's a lawyer). [/quote]
