First the good news. On June 9th, the board of directors of Philadelphia's local Cradle of Liberty Boy Scout Council announced that it was reversing the new policy it had adopted in May of accepting homosexuals as members and leaders. This new policy represented not only a cowardly capitulation to the bullying tactics of the militant homosexual lobby, but a betrayal of everything the organization has stood for throughout nearly a century of its existence.
Fortunately, the national council of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is made of sterner stuff. It told the Philadelphia council that it must conform to the organization's national standards or face expulsion. Philadelphia's local leadership got back in line.
This is an important victory not only for the 87,000 young members of the Philadelphia council, but for the millions of boys and adults involved in the Scouting programs nationwide. Beyond that, it is a victory for our entire society in one of the most brutal battlefronts of the ongoing culture war.
Consider what is happening here. For the past 20 years, the Boy Scouts have been victims of an escalating campaign of intimidation and legal harassment from the organized deviants and their wealthy patrons in Holly wood, the big foundations, and corporate Babylon.
In June 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the homosexual zealots in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale (an avowed homosexual activist). In a 5-4 decision, the court upheld the BSA's standing as a private organization with the right to set its own standards for membership and leadership. Those standards include the Scout Oath, in which Scouts pledge to stay "morally straight."
That's what drives the Lavender Mafia into paroxysms of apoplectic fury. They are free to go start their own Rainbow Scouts or Swisher Scouts. In fact, they have done so. They call their organization Scouting For All. But they are not content with that; they feel compelled to destroy the Boy Scouts as well, by gender-bending it to their own warped desires.
Scouting For All is obsessed with assaulting the Boy Scouts, not serving the "gay youth" it claims to care about. Go to their website and see the aggressive attack campaign they have mapped out. A major part of their strategy is to hurt the Boy Scouts' financial base. Their website declares:
