    Just out of curiosity:

    I wonder approximately how many boys had their first gay experience during some Boy Scouting activity?

    I hear those Jamborees can really be quite a lot of fun!

    PS.

    I don't see why the LGBT community can't organize its own campfire groups for their own youth to enjoy...It can include all of the essential components of the Boy Scouts and just omit all of the BS.

    There are groups that exist, its just that those groups aren't going to get all the support from the local governments, United Way, churches and other places that host scouts, etc.

    Scouts is established, the inclusive groups aren't.

    This could go two ways, it could end up with LGBT scouts being completely ostracised and kicked out, or there is going to be some watered down version of DADT.
