How the Boy Scouts Could Save the
Nation
61% of the 1,400 or so
delegates at the recent Boy Scout Leadership meeting voted to admit openly
homosexual boys to Scouting. They also denied homosexual adult Scout leaders. Two
bold questions need to be asked.
1. How does a young boy know he’s openly homosexual
unless someone suggests it?
2. What did the Boy Scouts learn about their own
leadership?
My home was recently infested with Brazilian cereal moths. They’re tiny things that reproduce before
your eyes and get into everything from Bisquick to candied pecans to Raisin
Bran. I tried sprays and finally settled on a simple sex trap; not unlike what
the “progressives” use on every moral and spiritual value that made this
country great.
The trap features a little red
square (how appropriate!) that carries a pheromone, a targeted sexual
attractant that draws the moths to it. As they fly into the trap, the sticky
sides snare them and they remain stuck until they die of exhaustion.
1. The great strength of
Scouting has always been to develop young men by testing their courage and
drawing out latent skills and talents. The experience will serve them the rest
of their lives. Scouting succeeds because it serves true diversity: the
development of diverse skills and talents through hard-earned Badges in areas
of interest to the individual Scout.
Boys are aware of their blossoming
sex drives. Scouting has always guided them to discover their roles as young
men born to serve God, Country and one another. Isn’t this more important than
being drawn like moths to the “progressive” sex trap?
I’ve long held that sexual impulse
of any type is offset by a person’s innate creativity and penchant for service.
The difference between human beings and all other creatures is that we have
been gifted with a rational mind and free will that does not enslave us to our passions.
Most boys will grow and
develop into men ready to head a family and defend it as God commands and the
Constitution provides. Others will find their creative and intellectual gifts
lead them into other areas of risk and reward, of service to others. Their
sexuality will take care of itself as they concentrate on discovering and
testing their capabilities.
2. What is it about Scout
leaders that drew them to vote as they did?
Jesus stated that for
someone to destroy the innocence of young ones, it would be better for the predator
to have a millstone hung around his neck and be tossed into the sea. He saw
that as an eternal preventative to save the predator’s own soul before he did
something stupid.
The person dedicated to serving
others, especially the young, is often left alone with his thoughts and
impulses. One must never divert boys’ skill and character development toward
obsession with sexuality.
The answer lies in 1 Corinthians
10:13: “No test has been sent you that do
not come to all men.” Besides, God keeps his promise. He will not let you be
tested beyond your strength. Along with the test he will give you a way out so
that you may be able to endure it.” God’s love and wisdom is shown with our endowment
of a free will. He provides us with a
barrier against temptation. What good is
His guidance if we're not paying attention? We must do our part and
instill it in our boys.
The Boy Scouts and the
schools they attend will win this great battle in spiritual warfare by embracing
God as complementary to the mission of education and skill development. They
could explore the balance between creativity, service and sexuality without
“progressive” obsessions. Young people would come to understand how wonderfully
they are made. They are designed for greatness and have the free will and the
freedom in this Constitutional
Republic to choose a path.
Anything short of that deserves “The Millstone Award.”
