The BSA believes that atheists and agnostics are not appropriate role models of the Scout Oath and Law for boys, and thus will not accept such adults as leaders.Since 1991, openly homosexual individuals have been officially prohibited from leadership positions in the Boy Scouts of America. A 1991 Position Statement states: “We believe that homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the requirement in the Scout Oath that a Scout be morally straight and in the Scout Law that a Scout be clean in word and deed, and that homosexuals do not provide a desirable role model for Scouts.” The BSA thus "believes that a known or avowed homosexual is not an appropriate role model of the Scout Oath and Law."
My best friend is a gay and atheist boy scout. He is a devoted member of the community and is working on becoming an eagle scout. Boy Scouts means a lot to him, and it is because of this that he's closeted about his sexual orientation.
Is it fair for an organization meant to teach young people morals to exclude people so openly? People, no matter what their religion or sexual preference, are people. And the Boy Scouts should be teaching tolerance and not segregation.
