MichScouter Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I am just wondering how most people on scouter would vote on the current hot topic of the day. So here goes if you could vote to decide if BSA policy would change or stay the same how would you vote? You only have two choice for the current policy or for the local option.

MichScouter Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 I am a little supprise by the result so far out of 20 votes 15 for the local option. I was thinking it would be closer to 50/50. I guess it is still early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattR Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I think you need to login before you can vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packsaddle Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Not too many years ago, I suspect the result would have been the opposite with a vast majority in favor of the current policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle92 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I still remember the first time I read about the New Orleans troop that was started with the express purpose of mollesting kids in the 1970s. Better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I am a little supprise by the result so far out of 20 votes 15 for the local option. I was thinking it would be closer to 50/50. I guess it is still early. It is an internet poll on a discussion list. Tons of ways this could be manipulated either way. Just takes someone with some time on their hands. Now, if there was a way to lock down by IP address so that only one vote per IP address you might have a different story. But who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghjim Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Interesting poll here, but I have to say not very scientific. I am far more interested how the councils are voting, and if that information will every be published/released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutBox Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have to add, that although I support the Local Policy. I worry that Local Units will go too far and start making up their own rules. I've seen this in action already, and it becomes a watered down BSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwazse Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 You omitted a third option. A national policy that requires units to present homosexuality as an example of morally straight to all of our you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichScouter Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Just to check how the poll works it appears that it will let each user name vote once. I tried to vote second time to see and it gave me an error saying please select an option first. I tried about three time so as far as I can tell you can only vote once per user name. I guess you could create mutiple accounts but why would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
