He’s a fourth-generation Boy Scout leader, recipient of an award for distinguished leadership and a member of the Southern Region committee as well as an ad hoc member of the national committee.
But if the Boy Scouts of America’s national executive board follows through this week with a proposal to reverse a century-old policy and allow homosexuals in its ranks, Steve Elwart of Vicksburg, Miss., says he’s one of many Scout leaders throughout the leadership structure who will resign.
Elwart, a 30-year veteran of Scouting, explained to WND that with a model program already in place to protect Scouts from sexual abuse, his concern is not that pedophiles will infiltrate the organization if the policy is changed.
Calling that issue a “red herring,” his concern is more fundamental.
“Homosexuality is not a value I want to see imparted on my children,” he said. “And a lot of parents feel the same way, that homosexuality is not OK.”

Allow the gays into the Boy Scouts is akin to allowing foxes into the hen house – and with the same results!
I was a scout, and I have four sons who were scouts. If the BSA accepts this depravity, you can just say goodby to the BSA. I would not have had any of my sons join the Scouts, and I know that my parents would not have let me join.
Any arguments that homosexuality is part of your makeup is complete nonsense. Consider that the practice of men having male concubines in the Middle East was an accepted practice only a few years ago, does this mean most Arab men were "queer"? No, it was simply a learned way of life because young men were simply not exposed to females (other than relatives), so they had sexual experiences with other boys. This accepted practice continued on as a lifetime habit.
Today's gay organizations are working very hard to convince the rest of us to accept homosexuality as a normal way of life. It is anything but normal … and this is not because of any religious dogma.
