In early 1992 I read of the policy adopted by Troop 260 of San Jose. We do not agree that sexual orientation is immoral.
Sexual preference is a private issue.
We don't believe it to be relevant in the selection of adult leaders or in the awarding of Eagle Scout rank. I wrote to Scoutmaster Mike Cahn supporting him. Michael S. Cahn, MD Dr Cahn has 50 years in Scouting, starting as a Cub Scout in 1940. He earned Eagle Scout in 1948 and the BSA's Certificate of Merit in 1983. Since 1983 he has served Scout Troop 260, San Jose, California, chartered to Christ the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, as assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster, and troop committee chair.
