>> welcome to "inside story." i'm ray suarez. boy scouts are central figures in american culture. over the last 100 years you've seen them everywhere, on public service projects in norman rockwell paintings marching in 4th of july parades and marching off to the woods to like and camp. i know because i did it. yeah that's me on the left. i've been involved with scouts in various capacities for most of my life and count the experience as one of the most important and formative in my life. i'm an eagle scout as is my son. like the rest of the organization wrestled with religious beliefs, and be sexual orientation. today gay youngsters are allowed to be scouts but gay member and men and women cannot serve as volunteers.
