The Boy Scouts of America do not allow adult leaders who are gay. Likewise there is no logical reason to ask a minor if they are gay; they would have to provide that information of their own free will.

The boy scouts still ban openly gay adults to join the scouts.
No, the boy scouts history has no connection with anything in the LGBT community.
Being in scouts is a fab idea. Since the purpose of the Boy Scouts has nothing to do with sex, it should not matter if a scout is gay.
Leaders cannot be openly Gay. The status of gay scouts is less settled but there is a chance that an openly gay scout may be asked to leave.

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) first allowed openly gay youth to become members in 2014. This decision came after years of controversy and legal battles surrounding the organization's stance on LGBTQ+ inclusion.
The Boy Scouts of America historically believe that homosexuality is against the Scout oath and thus prevents gay individuals becoming members. Also there is the chance of pedophilia with gay male leaders and young scout members.

In terms of the conflict of homosexual participants, any gay boy may participate up until his eighteenth birthday. Gay leaders are still banned.
Not half as gay as not being able to spell simple words like "tie" and "Knot".
Yes, they have the right to ban gays, but currently, they do allow gay teens to join.
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.
