BSA Scouts out New Condom Policy
I found this a while back on Tony Perkins' Washington Update page:
"What kind of fire are the Boy Scouts teaching kids to start? Angry parents want to know now that the organization is making condoms an official part of its World Jamboree. Almost five years to the day that it threw open doors to homosexuality, BSA leaders are making their leftward lurch complete with the announcement that birth control would be provided at their next 12-day jamboree where 12- to 17-year-olds will convene.
A document from the three-country planning committee is making the rounds -- and the hosts of the West Virginia event have an interesting mandate. Jamboree organizers must now guarantee that 'condoms are readily and easily accessible for all participants and IST [staff] at a number of locations on the site. Heads of contingent must be informed in advance and made aware of their responsibility in communicating this policy to their participants, unit leaders, and IST in an appropriate way.' While drug possession and/or alcohol consumption is forbidden for minors, sexual encounters are not."
