BSA24 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 http://abcnews.go.com/US/boy-scouts-reaffirm-ban-gays/story?id=16795868#.UCRliPZlTnh Randall Stephenson, the CEO and Chairman of AT&T, a major supporter of BSA and a member of the National executive board along with his coworker Ralph Dela Vega has said he is committed to ending the ban. He takes over as President of BSA in 2014. The avalanche has already begun. It is too late for the pebbles to vote. --Kosh http://www.scoutsforequality.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentinel947 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The tide is inevitable, which is why I don't get worked up on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizon Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I wonder if they (they being the unnamed Cabal of Eleven of course) will try to push him off of the Board? This could get interesting now that his stance is public like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdidochas Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I just hope that the local option is allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basementdweller Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The girls scouts can discriminate based on age, color, religious affiliation, height, weight, neighborhood you live in...... So at the local level if I don't like the way ya look, I am going to offer you a list of neighboring troops and Packs suggesting they might be a better fit.... BTW I have never done that to a new scout or family.....but the SM has done that to a scout.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosetracker Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 SP.. Yeah us! One on the National Executive Board and growing!! We're number 1! We're number 1! (quite literally that is).. If he reaches the President postion safely without being shot at.. Maybe some others on the Board will be courages enough to speak up. If not at least liberals may be more welcomed to replace any vacated seats.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCubScouter Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Five cents says that before he becomes President there will be an announcement that he decided his other obligations preclude him from taking that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA24 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 > A corporate leader the progressive left can fawn upon. And he's an Eagle Scout with the world's 9th largest company behind him. AT&T could shore up BSA from lost Mormon financial contributions without even blinking. They make more in net income than BSA has total assets. Maybe that american shield over the eagle's chest will become a little blue and white globe. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bando Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Don't forget that AT&T is one of the major reasons Bechtel will be ready for the 2013 Jamboree. All that wiring and infrastructure didn't just show up out of thin air, nor will the smartphone technology attendees will be required to use to navigate the program areas. And all of us who enjoyed a stable wifi signal and reliable cell phone service at AP Hill in 2010 courtesy of AT&T certainly know how great that is. AT&T has shown a commitment to Scouting, which should be "fawned over" by all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGreyEagle Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 As I understand it, I think, Abraham Lincoln had progressive left types fawning over him as well. As did those who signed the Declaration of Independence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WasE61 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Good for Scouting and Scouts.... ... I for one will be happier that my Scout is in a *less* discriminatory organization. He might even be able to wear his Scout shirt to school without catching crap for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
