Boy Scouts of America to Vote on Proposed End to Ban on Gay Scouts

boy-scouts-gay-banNext week in Dallas (May 22-24, 2013), the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, with about 1400 voting members, will decide on whether to change its policy and admit openly gay scouts under the age of 18. But gay scout leaders will still be banned. Most scout troops are sponsored by religious groups that remain divided on the issue.

Watch correspondent Deborah Potter’s report on the Boy Scouts and their gay ban.
