Thanks for the update on this. Ending the ban on the national level does not entirely end the ban, instead it will give local councils the ability to use their own discretion, but this is a giant leap forward. Now if we could only get them to accept transgender scouts and leaders. Maybe next year.

i knew it. boy scouts of america will follow the lead of the girl scouts. good on ya. i never liked being a boys scout but i did enjoy all of the activies and camping trips we took. learned how to survive days in the wilderness if i ever got lost. valuable skills and lessons one can learn.
