Scouting defies its own values

Scouting defies its own values


An organization that purports to help instill values of responsibility for well-being of country, community and self in young men has failed to demonstrate those values itself.

The Mount Diablo Silverado Council, the local unit of Boy Scouts of America, then issued a statement saying that because Andresen "does not meet Scouting's membership standard on sexual orientation," he is "no longer eligible for membership."

Andresen, who had been bullied as a child, created a 288-tile "tolerance wall" at Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School to help other victims of bullying - a problem so pervasive, it has received special attention from President Obama.
