Their units are part of the 61% that voted in favor of letting in gay youth members. The Southern Baptists, however, are already talking about making their units shift over to the Royal Ambassadors (never heard of it personally). The RAs are the mission study group for boys. If they follow through on this, they will have to expand their program; they have nothing for boys past sixth grade. RAs at our church were supposed to be studying missions; but they did nothing but build race cars for a derby. I don’t know what our church will do with their BSA chapter. We didn’t let our son be a part of it because the group here is nothing but a bunch of bullies. I am very happy that the BSA has finally taken this step, and hope it isn’t long until they, like the GSA, are all inclusive. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/boy-scouts-have-ended-ban-on-gays/648668)._
