will they? Not for a generation or two.

BTW, your thread header question and poll questions are not the same. Which is why I answered the way I did.

Sure, they should.

The question should be, "Will they?"

My answer to that is not unless SCOTUS forces them to which is very unlikely.

I agree they should, but they won't.

I doubt it. I suspect it will take a SCOTUS decision to get the BSA to change their policy. I do not see them becoming more inclusive willingly.

Will they? No
Should they? Yes

Therefore your poll makes no sense when connected to the headline.

It will come but not for another few years of "evolution"

They almost certainly won't, though.

A large number of BSA leaders have been working from inside BSA for a long time to try to get this policy change.

The major stumbling block is that the Mormons have threatened to pull out of BSA and to form their own youth organization if the policy is changed. Mormons only account for less than 5% of the population but LDS units and scouts are 15% to 20% of the units and scouts in BSA.

I had a good time in scouts 50 years ago. The BSA should be better than this.

time too in scouts about 50 years ago. Today, not so sure.

As well as by other RW Christian religions and RW orgs and politicians.

They also do not allow boys who are atheists to belong.

from the National Eagle Scout Association. I finally sent them an email and told them to take me off their mailing list, I don't support bigoted organizations. I've not heard back from them, I guess they are happy being bigots and don't care what Eagle Scouts have to say.

getting fed up with the needless animosity and hatred in this country anymore.
