The Boy Scouts have finally voted on allowing gay students join troops. They still don't allow gay troop leaders though.
I know before the vote a number of Eagle Scout members would mail in their badges, protesting the ban on gay teens. I also remember reading that Girl Scouts accepted gay teens if they were refused from joining Boy Scouts. However I know Boy Scouts is a lot better at keeping members than Girl Scouts is. I always wished my Girl Scout troop had been more involved besides selling cookies. I hope someday that the Boy Scouts will allow gay troop leaders.
