Christian Leaders Ask Boy Scouts to Keep Current Policy on Gay Scouts

A statement signed by 48 Christian leaders asks the Boy Scouts of America to maintain its current policy of not allowing gay scouts.

"We strongly support the Boy Scouts of America current prohibition on open homosexuality and retaining it without revision," the statement begins.

Earlier this year, the Boy Scouts was considering changing the policy to allow each chapter to decide whether to allow gay leaders, volunteers or scouts. After some pushback from some host churches, it decided to delay a decision on any policy change. The Boy Scouts will now consider a proposal on Thursday at its national meeting on whether to change its current policy to allow gay scouts, but not gay leaders or volunteers.

More than 40 rallies have been held across the country this week to show support for the current policy, according to CBN News. Read more
