The Boy Scouts of America is touted as being a "family values" type of establishment that operates on Christian ideals, blah blah blah. That's why it's simply to "moral" of an organization to allow homosexuals to join. Well, apparently this private organization finds sexual abuse to be moral, because accusations have not only been covered up, but abusers have been ignored to continue victimizing children.
In at least 400 instances, the Boy Scouts of America failed to report accusations of sexual abuse among their scout leaders. One camp director even admitted that he was told not to report a staff member for child sex abuse because the organization wanted to protect its reputation.
So how's that for morals and family values?
It's a shame that so many children are victimized at the hands of people "entrusted" by these organizations; organizations that American families have trusted for several decades. Should this group even be trusted anymore? While they're worried about same sex partners being parts of their troupes their own so called heterosexual scout leaders are molesting young boys and going unpunished. This is a travesty.

I seem to remember that it was something close to, Those who scream and complain the loudest about GLBT's are apt themselves to be closet homosexual and/or child abusers.
Echos of the Catholic Priest episodic pedophilia drama which has been playing out for some 35 plus years. Now we are confronted with the same kind of abuse and child moslestation by leaders in the BSA.
It is sadly shameful and revolting, that there are those adults who would intentionally harm the children who were placed under their care and protection.
