Scouts vote to admit gay youth, not leaders: http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/23/us/boy-scouts-sexual-orientation/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
So, you can be a gay Scout when you are 17 years and 364 days old, then you are out.
Here's a guy who is mad about it: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/23/my-take-why-my-family-is-quitting-the-boy-scouts/?hpt=hp_t1 I was entertained by this line: "Parents should have the exclusive right to raise issues about sex and sexuality with their children in their own time and in their own way, in the privacy of their homes, not brought up by other older boys around a campfire." I guess the conversations around his campfires were a lot tamer than the conversations I had around campfires when I was in Scouts.
