A long time ago I decided that I wouldn't become an Eagle Scout. I had various reasons at the time, about what sort of statement I'd be making if I joined the company of my contemporaries who were, things like that. But it's incidents like this firing of a longtime Boy Scout employee that reinforce that decision regularly. It's a shame, because I think that Scouting has a lot to offer, but the ethics of bigotry and exclusion don't need reinforcement.
