This is hogwash - The Scouts never barred "Gay" kids or kids from a different "religion" from being scouts, they taught a moral code based largely on the Bible (which I was not all that in favor of, because "good deeds" without Christ mean nothing Biblically) . Each Pack or Troop is allowed to select their own leaders based on their own criteria. All three of mine were in until they started caving to the Politically Correct crowd, and there is nothing I have ever read that barred "Gays" or kids from a different "religion" from being Cub or Boy Scouts.
