Boy Scouts survey volunteers, workers on gay ban

The Boy Scouts of America is surveying its volunteers and employees across the U.S. on the question of allowing gays in Scouting.

The Irving, Texas-based Scouts last year publicly reaffirmed its ban on gays from the organization. Behind the scenes, though, the Scouts privately convened a committee to determine whether the ban should be modified or lifted.

That change could come in May, when a resolution will be put before the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America to decide whether to keep, modify or rescind the gay ban.

Respondents are asked to rate their feelings from strong support to strong opposition.
