And now that the dime a dozen appology has been made, and after they condemn the speech point by point, what are they really going to do about it? Who's going to resign? Who's going to make sure it doesn't happen again? Who's going to set up a program to councel the scouts on why this was inappropriate?

Where a lot of damage has been done to the organization and the lives of these kids, much has to be required to restore honor.

I won't hold my breath.
