U.S. Boy Scouts affirms no gays policy
By Unknown - Jul 18, 2012
- The policy affects "open or avowed homosexuals"
- The decision was reached after a nearly two-year evaluation
- "This is the best policy for the organization," a BSA executive committee says
- The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force calls the decision "disappointing"
The Boy Scouts of America announced Tuesday it has affirmed its policy of "not granting membership to open or avowed homosexuals."
The organization's leaders reached that decision after a nearly two-year evaluation and will take no further action on a resolution that has sought a change in policy, it said in a news release. It had said last month that it would consider a resolution asking that local units be allowed to determine their own standards.
BSA's chief scout executive and national president had convoked a committee of volunteers and professional leaders to evaluate the policy.
