I took my son to camp, and one of the leaders did song "my little tea pot" he was so flaming he could have burst into flames, his version was something Marylyn Monroe could have done, very sickening
it took everything I had not to snatch up my son and leave, I took my son aside and explained not to be alone with him, and apparently all the boys knew something was up with him and was the joke of the camp

Paul, While I agree with you that Happies should not have a position of leadership in the BSA, Please don't give up a sponsorship or support of the kids. They are what count, not the leaders. The kids need the sponsorship that you provide to keep going. I donated some rifles that we had leftover from the gun store and always donate to them and the girl scouts when they silicate us for donations.
The biggest problem I have with the girl scouts is those damn cookies. I gain about 10 pounds a year because of them[;)][;)]
Keep up the Support Paul, and remember it is all about the kids and the scouts, not the leaders. JMHO and you don't have to agree and i understand. Oakie
I would not want my kids around it now no matter what. The reason is they will run into happy crap when the go to Summer camp and the big jamborees.
Baden Powell is rolling in his grave.
Some of you guys seem to assume that being happy makes the guy also a pederast. They are two distinct mental states. In fact, most child molesters are hetero.
I really wish people would understand statistics and demographic distributions before posting nonsense like that.
If heteros are 98 out of every 100 people, and Happys are the other 2 out of every 100, which group would you expect to have more of Fill-In-The-Blank overall?
The statistic to watch is the conformity to the distribution. If Happys are ~2% of the overall population, one would expect them to be ~2% of the child molesters. If they are at some level higher than that, there is a problem.

I am really torn on this, being one of the leaders of my sons troop I am mixed. Currently, considering pulling my son out and giving up my position. On the other hand, I will be turning my back on several young men. It puts alot of people in a bad situation, and possibly some of the kids.
Good people like you could start core groups and use freedom of religion to exclude happys.
It would be nice if it caught on.
Next thing the boy scouts will be like the pope shuffling pedos around to keep it quiet.[:(!]
Get a rope.
Dennis,that is a great idea!....Scout Masters need to set up their own troops...not aligned with national troop....Like a "Confederacy"....

..That said....I don't think being happy makes you a pedophile. They probably have as much in the way of outdoor skills to teach as anyone else....as long as sexuality is not displayed, discussed or taught, period.
I reckon it's more like Brainwashing Sumit Analexplorers.
If you don't think happys are pedos google the term "chicken hawk".
No one has claimed that happys can NOT be pedophiles. What has been pointed out is that being happy and being a pedophile are to distinctly different things. One does not lead to the other.
I, a hetero man who loves women, am not on a path to seducing little girls. No more so than a man who loves another man being enroute to seducing little boys. Or a lesbian who loves another woman being inclined to seduce little girls. Man/man, woman/woman, man/woman, and adult/child are distinct sexual attractions. Some people exist in more than one of those categories simultaneously. But, being in one does not cause activity in another.
Your first statement is normal and natural as well as describing the majority of men.
Everything after that speaks of sick, perverted deviates who should not be considered "normal" as is the trend, but as mentally retarded and sociopathic. Anything they do in their deviate desires can be expected. And the more that is accepted by society, the bolder and more deviate they will become. It is a sad and dangerous path normal people are being forced to walk.
