Something to consider:
Venture Crews (co-ed program in Scouting for 14-21 year olds) prohibits youth (under 21) members of the opposite sex from tenting or showering with one another, and non-married adults of the opposite sex can't tent or shower together either. How will the this standing policy be applied to gay Scouts? Will each gay Scout have to tent separately? Do we assume, as mentioned in BlueBB's post that these 11-18 year old gay Scouts somehow have stronger willpower than most 11-14 heterosexual boys? Do we just have to accept that gay Scouts are allowed to ogle hetero Scouts, so long as they don't act?
These questions are of the same variety that DOD deftly ignored when repealing the DADT rules last year. I fully expect BSA to conveniently ignore them as well.
