Being gay is not a choice or something that can be learned. Being gay is as natural as being straight, it just happens. Scouts do not make people gay or teach them to be gay. Scouts teaches children survival skills and toughens them up for the outside world. It has nothing to do with making people gay. Respect people's sexuality.

Should gay Scouts and Scout leaders be allowed in the Boy Scouts of America?
Answer 1: Yes of course. Everyone needs Scouting. Answer 2: No, gay scouts and leaders should not be allowed in the BSA because the BSA program has certain tenets that follow the belief in God and straight morals. The current interpreation of the Bible by the BSA states Homosexuality goes against these principals, therefore they cannot be allowed in the BSA program. Answer 3: gay boys have always been allowed to participate in certain programs in the Boy Scout organization including "Learning for Life" program which includes Explorer Scouts. Answer 4: The Boy Scouts of America claims to respect and accept all religions and they require the leaders of each unit to attest that the scouts and other leaders uphold the tenents of scouting. The ban on gay leaders (they just now accept gay scouts) stems from the requirement that scouts be "morally straight". In my opinion, the only way to reconcile all of this, and truly respect all faiths, is to leave it up to each individual unit to define what is moral. Forcing any particular point of view fails to respect the others.
