[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Supreme Court has ruled that the Boy Scouts are a private organization and can set their own rules consistent with their values.  Note the last part of the Scout Oath:

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight[/quote]

The BSA is on the wrong side of this.  They are a great program, but they will either slowly become marginalized in society or they will eventually cave.   Now that the military has dropped DADT, I think it is harder for the scouts to maintain this stance.  Society is changing and this will not go away.  The scouts can join society are become a minor poorly respected subset of society.  For example, I think, the rank of Eagle Scout will eventually be tarnished.   I am encouraged by the disagreement on the BSA board and from other BSA members, but I think this is a battle. [/quote]
