		Boy Scout councils around the nation are in desperate financial situations, and programs that benefit our communities are at risk of being shut down.

	In defense of scouting: why protests are wrong
		Scouting's message is compromised when prospective leaders present themselves as role models inconsistent with Boy Scouting's understanding of the Scout Oath and Law." Scouting's goal is to help shape the lives of young men, and in doing so, it limits the lifestyles it promotes to heterosexuals with religion of some kind.
		Let's assume for a moment that the Boy Scouts are within their rights to determine eligibility and that in doing so they aren't really hurting anyone.
		My Eagle Scout application was sent there to be approved, beyond that I didn't care about the national headquarters and it didn't care about me. Almost everything else dealing with the operation of a troop is handled by the troop or the council.
