Good job! We applaud any organized efforts to prevent gay child
molesters from getting to children.
(KMOV) Ever since the Boy Scouts have changed their policy on
admitting homosexual members, Christian-based groups have been
up in arms and now a new group is emerging to compete with the
scouts; keeping homosexuals out.
Rich Snyder has been a part of the Boy Scouts since he was kid,
even his children were involved. But now hes turned to a
scouting group called Trail Life USA, based out of Orlando,
Florida.
The group is brand new, with only two troops in the metro area.
One troop, based out of a Swansea Christian church, is deep-
rooted in Christian teachings and traditional scouting. But not
everyone is welcome, one exclusion being homosexual boys.
"I think the historical position of the scouts is the better
position in that sex should not be a part of the scouting life,
these are young men developing and that should not be a part of
it, said Steve Rogier of Community Bible Church.
In response, the Boy Scouts offered a statement that read in
part, the BSA believes every child deserves the opportunity to
be a part of the scouting experience.
Some would say this is just an organization of exclusion, how
would you respond? I dont believe it is, I think we will be
inclusive to the ability that we can, said Snyder who is a
Trail Life troop leader.
Leaders say theyre ready for the criticism as well as the
groups growing popularity.
