Like the same-sex marriage movement which is attempting to redefine the nature of the oldest human institution on earth, the decision to admit gay members by the BSA will redefine its mission and the scout's oath sworn to uphold that mission; to "preprare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes" To make moral choices admits the existence of a moral law which admits the existence of a moral giver that is God, and who has decreed homosexual acts to be immoral.
