"I much prefer the previous proposal that would have left it up to local charter organizations to decide whether or not to include LGBT youth and leaders," Wilcox said. "According to that policy, if a youth were in an LDS-chartered troop, he would have been welcomed and could have earned his Eagle, and an openly gay member of the church 'in good standing' could have been the leader to pin the badge on him. With this current proposal, that will not be possible."
