Scouting for new members

“We believe the BSA [Boy Scouts of America] can no longer sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, controversial and unresolved societal issue. America needs Scouting, and our policies must be based on what is in the best interest of our kids.” — Wayne Perry, national president of the Boy
Scouts of America,
announcing last week that the group will end its ban on gay Scouts,
but maintain its ban on gay Scout leaders
