The Boy Scout oath is: "On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty to God and my country. To help other people at all times, to obey the Scout Law, and to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight."
The law is: "A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent."
At meeting in Texas, 61% of National Council’s annual meeting delegates broke the oath. Yes, it is that simple.
Naturally the battle over admitting openly gay members will continue according to all the reports I’ve read. There’s already talk about establishing a new organization for boys. My question is why doesn’t the opposition just leave the BSA alone and set up their own? But that is not the way it works.
Who knows how this will turn out - no one. The only thing for sure is that an organization that has proven to be worthwhile to boys and young men will be destroyed.
Looks like that was the intent all along.
