it's like deja vu all over again
Yeah, I know. They teach stupid outdated stuff like being trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Stuff that our society has deemed unnecessary a long time ago. Just ask any politician (either side of the aisle).
If I read this right, and I apologize if I didn't, some of you guys would be ok having your 9-year-old son babysat by a gay guy? Or to put it another way you'd be ok having your 9-year-old girl babysat by a straight man?
So is that a yes or a no or a wuss out?You're always taking a risk with any babysitter, but pedophiles are rare. Then again, so are adult babysitters.

I don't know where you guys are getting the random part from. Whatever. I think you're fooling yourself if you say it wouldn't bother you to have a gay guy going on campouts with your 9-year-old son.No one should ever get a random baby-siter. You should always get someone you know and trust, or a reference from a trusted person. If that person you know happens to me male,female,lesbian,gay, or whatever. it shouldnt matter. The only thing that matters is if you trust the person with your kid.
And Boy Scouts if lame as hell, Im sorry if I offend some of yall.
K I'm gonna go with wuss out. Par for the course for you.More of a comment that this question is not really relevant to the discussion. To answer the question would require some knowledge of why I hired an adult babysitter, as opposed to the usual pre/early teen version.
Boy Scout leaders are not babysitters. They don't see the kids in a private location, and don't spend large amounts of individual time with the kis in the course of their duties. So, I don't see the relevance your question has to this situation.
I agree that, as a private club, Scouts can reject anyone they choose. The consequence of being a private club (as opposed to a public accomodation) means that they don't get special government considerations.

If you really don't understand why being a Scout leader is different from being a babysitter in important ways, there is little to be said that will enlighten you.
