Results: Daily Debate: Should boy scout units be allowed to choose their own leaders?
The Boy Scouts of America is expected to end its ban on gay adult leaders on Monday, dismantling a policy that has deeply divided the membership of the 105-year-old Texas-based organization.
The organization's national executive board is scheduled to ratify a resolution to allow individual Scout units to set their own policies for choosing leaders.
The decision would follow the landmark ruling in late June by the U.S. Supreme Court allowing same-sex marriages nationwide. In May, the Boy Scouts’ president, former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, called the ban “unsustainable” and said it needed to change.
