Cub Scout Pack 215 in rural Arkansas is waiting for a vote that could mean big changes for their tiny outfit.

More than 70 percent of Boy Scout units are sponsored by a religious group, some that do not want to allow gay youth to join. One is Pack 215, chartered by the Eagle Heights Baptist Church in Harrison, Ark. The church’s pastor has said it will not stay on as sponsor if the policy is changed.

“This would be inconsistent with the biblical values and the essence upon which we operate our ministries,” said Pastor Jay Scribner, who said he would work with the pack to help it decide next steps should the policy change.

Scribner said the decision to pull sponsorship would come “with a heavy heart, but at the same time, with firm biblical convictions.”

I just wonder what Rev. Scribner's take on Harrison being the headquarters of the KKK is.

Harrison, AR)--Harrison, Arkansas, known for a controversial past of violent racism, is celebrating Black History Month publicly for the first time. The observance is taking place just miles from the national Ku Klux Klan headquarters.

Pastor Thomas Robb (right) is the national leader of the KKK. He believes the stigma of racism in Harrison, and fear of the KKK is created by others.
