I'm an eagle scout and in boy scouts, but if i come out i'll be kicked out
i'm gay(not because of scouts) and thats not accepted in boy scouts and if i come out i will lose all that work to become eagle
Do i just keep my feelings in
Two choices you have, come out and get kicked out, or keep it private and become an eagle scout. Why don't you become an eagle scout and later come out and let them kick you out. I doubt they can take away something you earned once you have it, only they can send you packing.
Roger just wrote exactly what I was thinking, once an eagle always an eagle, kind of like being a marine. I'm hetero and they kicked me out of the boyscouts for eating a brownie.
You see thats the thing they can take it way from you and they have done it. i can't sue them its part of scouts and its an agreement you make when you join
How do you know your sure your gay? Is it the way you've always been. If so : This is a very tough one. Make sure you don't want a woman in any way. I have to tell you God says no. Resist. Do you really know God? Has someone abused you and confused you? Check out the harm it really does to have sex in that way. You are the only one who has to answer for what you do. You have the choice of giving in to what I believe to be sin. Yet, sin is sin. I sin every day. Me, far from perfect. If your young you may just be confused. It might be that a part of your brain makes you like other guys. I hope you do what's best for you. I can't judge you and I don't want to. This is just my oppinion. Also some of it is my belief. Peace Out . God Bless. I would handle it in a quiet manner. At least until I knew that I was totally sure of how I felt. Please: remember: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever (anyone) believeth in him shall not perrish but have everlasting life. John chapter 3 Verse 16
you fuck it man im a packer always been a fan of this . you and i gotta catch up someplace man. we can just chill and like if your really good lookin ill give you a hand job the first day
if the people in the boy scout commitee thing-a-majigger dont think gay people should be in the troop whatchamacallit then mabey you shouldnt be there,if your a good boy scout and you give 110% all the time,they will want you there,and mabey let you stay(if you promise not to touch the other boys)
You should reveal your sexuality. Keeping it bottled up because of a trivial matter such as Scouts isnt a good idea. If they try to kick you out you should argue your point to them, its the wrong thing for them to do. I hope this helps
Peace Out

Dude, I know where you're coming from. I'm an Eagle Scout and I'm gay....although I didn't really realize I was gay 'til later..........
If you're under 18, you might as well just get Eagle, then once you've aged out THEN you can come out to them if you want, and like the comment before me, it's not like they can do anything. I haven't read about any court cases where they took someone's Eagle rank away from them for being gay. But it's the most messed up thing ever to say that a gay man can't be a good role model. I've had so many parents thank me for setting such good examples for their kids, for being friends with them, for modeling leadership.......but believe me, if they knew I was gay, there's NOTHING that would change their minds about me. I'd go from hero to zero like that. Unless, of course, the parent was open-minded to begin with.
So yeah. Get what you can out of Scouts. If you wanna come out, alright.......but Be Prepared for the consequences if you do.
I am sorry you have to be put in such a crappy position.
Peace Out
