Republican John Blust says he wants to ensure that Boy Scout troops are not singled out by school boards. Blust says his bill was prompted by the growing number of school boards nationwide that have severed their relationships with Boy Scouts because of the group's national policy banning homosexual leaders. He points to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools board as an example. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro district's attorney says the bill would not affect the board's January decision to end its relationship with two Cub Scout packs. The board voted to stop sponsoring two packs and discontinue allowing all Boy Scout troops and packs to use school facilities for free.
Troops still can use school facilities if they pay the standard rate charged to nonprofit groups.
