The group’s National Council on Thursday reportedly gave the go-ahead to allow openly gay boys into its ranks. Tell us what you think of the decision.
A boy’s sexual orientation may soon be moot when he goes to join one national organization. According to reports Thursday evening, the Boy Scouts of America voted to drop sexual orientation as one component of membership into the youth group.

Jeff Eberhart was in a motorcycle accident Thursday at 1 p.m. on Interstate 75 northbound in Emerson.
Updated 9 p.m. Emerson Police Chief Stan Bradley called the Interstate 75 crash that claimed the life of Jeff Eberhart, 58, an "unfortunate accident." Eberhart's Harley-Davidson, which was pulling a trailer, was the only vehicle involved in the 1 p.m. incident just outside Cartersville in Bartow County, Bradley told Patch. He said a tractor-trailer also traveling north on I-75 passed Eberhart's motorcycle, and the resulting wind sheer caused the motorcycle to sway, according to witnesses. Authorities believe Eberhart lost control of the motorcycle as a result. "That's just speculation, but with a motorcycle, the margin of error is much smaller than with a car," Bradley said, adding the motorcycle, which was traveling about 65 mph, …

Well, unless things have changed, the Scouts have campouts where the kids sleep in tents. And I think there is an issue with pre-teens and teens dealing with "exploring and trying something". It would be the same if a pre-teen boy tried to kiss a pre-teen girl and she didn't like it. When I was growing up, my parents would have said "deal with it". It happened to a friend of mine's 11-year-old … more ›
