Wayne Brock
Chief Scout Executive
Dear Mr. Brock,
It is with great sadness and disappointment I hereby tender my resignation from Troop 501 and the Boy Scout organization. The vote to allow open and avowed homosexuality into Scouting will transform it into an unprincipled and risky proposition for parents – a social experiment, I may add. Sadly, the Boy Scouts’ legacy of producing great leaders has become yet another casualty of moral and corporate-driven leaders. May 23, 2013, was a sad day for the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and another tragic day for an America in decline.
I have been a Scout and Scout leader for 49 years. I started as a Cub Scout and worked all the way up to earning the coveted Eagle Scout award. During that journey, I attended the National Jamborees, Philmont High Adventure Scout Reservation, Northern Tier Canoe Base, and the Florida Sea Base. I am a Vigil Honor member of the Order of the Arrow, and a Wood Badge Instructor. For me, it was the greatest positive impact that a youth could have [along with] a solid family and a strong church.
I saw the value in Scouting so much that I encouraged my son to become a Scout and he has progressed much like his father. He is also an Eagle Scout and is currently serving our country in the U.S. Marine Corps.
I make this decision with a clear conscience knowing that it is the BSA that has become subverted, not me. I am upholding my personal integrity as the only way that I, as an individual, can take the lead by “voting with my feet” against a policy that I vehemently oppose.
I have many cherished memories of my years in Scouting, but today I feel as if an old friend has died. So long Scouting…It has been a great ride.
Good luck. Yours truly,
Richard D. Morales

well written- the end of a long journey brought on by piss poor decision making on the part of the Scouts who are now on a long downward slide into nothingness- where organizations who give into political correctness go to DIE! very sad indeed…
I agree with him all the way. It has come to this, I do not care what your life style is, DO NOT throw it in my face. I had a lady friend who was a dyke, when I told her to stop mouthing off about, she broke off the friendship. I really like her, BUT her call.
