The homosexual community is seeking to change the policy of the Boy Scouts of America which currently excludes membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals. It was in 2000 that the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that the organization is private, and it is allowed to bar homosexuals from being troop leaders. Please sign this petition to keep the current policy which is: "While the BSA does not proactively inquire about the sexual orientation of employees, volunteers, or members, we do not grant membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals or who engage in behavior that would become a distraction to the mission of the BSA."
