Iowa Scouts debate after ban lift on gay members
Eastern Iowa Boy Scout leaders call the May 23 policy change a step toward modern values while forbidding openly gay leaders. Some sponsors threaten to quit, others push for full inclusion as Dan McMillan of Troop 218 Iowa City notes the nationwide 114 million member group moves slowly. Sarah Dawson of the Hawkeye Area Council says the policy lets interested youths join while staying true to Scouting.
