&gt; DALLAS Boy Scouts of America President Robert Gates said on Thursday the group&amp;#039;s ban on adult gay leaders needs to end, taking a step toward dismantling a policy that has caused deep rifts in the 105-year-old organization.

&gt; Gates said at the group&amp;#039;s national meeting in Atlanta he does not plan to revoke the charters of Boy Scout councils that allow gay leaders, according to a text of the speech, which could significantly weaken enforcement of the ban.

&gt; Gates said he personally would have supported going further toward lifting the Scouts&amp;#039; ban on gays but would not reopen debate during his two-year term.
