BSA Maintains Membership Policy Amid Debate
The Boy Scouts of America unanimously upheld its membership policy, resisting a reconsid eration push from the national conference. Chief executive Bob Mazzuca cited broad family support while opponents from gay-rights groups called it a missed opportunity. The leadership noted diverse views within and outside Scouting and signaled none of the board members would force change. AT&T and Ernst & Young executives linked to Stephenson and Turley faced pressure as the policy contrasts with more inclusive groups like the Girl Scouts and Camp Fire.
