Perry: Scouting no place for lessons in sexuality »
Hundreds of Scout delegates from each of the 19 councils in Texas were seated in the House chamber Saturday as part of the 64th annual Report to the State tradition. Individual troops, typically chartered by churches, would still have the final say in selecting membership and leadership regardless of the decision next week, said Charles Mead, marketing and public relations director for the Capitol Area Council Boy Scouts. �The proposal would just formalize the decision that chartering organizations would continue making their decisions and there would no longer be a national restriction on openly gay kids or adults in the Boy Scouts,� Mead said. �If we can have gays and lesbians in the armed services killing terrorists, then why can't we have them in Boy Scouts making campfires?� Stanford asked. Perry stressed that the Boy Scouts are a private organization and should not be held to the same standards as public institutions, such as schools. Source Main page (current trends)
