Boy Scouts Open Doors To Transgenders

On Monday the Boy Scouts announced, “Starting today, we will accept and register youth in the Cub and Boy Scout programs based on the gender identity indicated on the application.”

The move by the Boy Scouts is likely to receive a wide range of responses from the American public.

From The New York Post:

The Boy Scouts of America says it will allow transgender children who identify as boys to enroll in its boys only programs. TRENDING: RUTH BADER GINSBURG DEAD! Supreme Court Justice Dies at Home Surrounded by Family The organization announced Monday that it had made the decision to base enrollment in boys only programs on the gender a child or parent lists on the application to become a scout. The organization had previously held a policy that relied on the gender listed on a child’s birth certificate. A transgender child in Secaucus, New Jersey, was asked late last year to leave his Scout troop after parents and leaders found out he is transgender.

Congrats. My sons and I will no longer participate or support the scouts in any way. We don’t want a social experiment. @boyscouts — Chest Rockwall (@scaryebolr) January 31, 2017

I feel bad for all the Boy Scouts who spent so much time to become an eagle scout and then the org makes a huge political statement — Melissa Miller (@themelissamillr) January 31, 2017

Will those opposed to the Boy Scouts keeping “boy” in their name now also oppose the term “Eagle Scout” since the kids aren’t actual birds? — Modern Trailhead (@ModernTrailhead) January 31, 2017
