The Boy Scouts are about as homophobic as you can get! If you are a gay scoutmaster, out you go. That is only one example.

In addition, there is evidence that they have covered up pedophiles in their organization. That is becoming a huge issue.

I'm sorry that kids get caught in the middle. However, the actions of the Boy Scouts are so egregious on so many fronts, they need to be overhauled from top to bottom. There are few ways to affect change but boycott when their leaders are so intransigent.
