Dear National Council members of the Boy Scouts of America, We who have inscribed our names, as youth and adult members of the Boy Scouts of America, petition you to keep the current membership requirements regarding homosexuality. We believe that, if you follow through with your proposed alteration of our policy, this action will result in the decay of BSA as an honorable organization. In the name of the Great Scoutmaster, we entreat you to uphold the meaning behind the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.

The quiet from the national office is draining but I am still reading every single message left on this page. We are holding our ground because the values we committed to mean more than the pressure to conform.

Leave it alone! If it aint broke dont fix it. Stop trying to change everything to satisfy politics.

Keep the traditional values that started this group. My sons learned so much and I dont want to see the core principles watered down just to fit what everyone else is doing.

The scout oath means something and it should stay that way. Stand firm.
