I've been grateful for that. But I've also felt really bad to see the national Scout organization become more and more politically conservative and - until now, anyway - seemingly in thrall to the Religious Right.
It's sort of sad not to be all that proud of my Eagle badge any more. But I ain't sending it back. I earned it, not them.

The question of gay scouts being allowed in should be no issue either. Nobody should be bullied and there should be no litmus test for scouts.
