 Today is Monday, February 4th, 2013, a day the boy scout 1 to reconsider a ban on gays and lesbians.

"For gays of scout comes out as openly gay, how do that affect the other boys, and maybe that's where they learn tolerance 2." 
A day to learn more about the job of our hostage negotiator. It's in an underground bunker which presents an unbelievable amount of challenges both on a tactical and negotiation 3 side. And a day to gage 4 security risks in Mali.
"When people were arrested, they were brought to this small room, and it was here they were tied and flopped 5."

The boy scouts 6 could remove a ban on openly gay scouts in scoutmasters this week. The group's executive board is meeting in Texas and is considering the idea after a den 7 leader was forced out of her post because she is openly gay. Months of protests followed, including some of Eagle Scouts choosing to give back their well earned medals and awards. One possible change in the works includes allowing local boys scout charpters to make the call on whether you'll accept gay members. Before yesterday's superbowl, president Obama waited in the issue in a pre-gay interview with CBS.
"The scouts are great institution, let our, promoting young children and exposing them to, you know, opportunities and leadership that, you know will serve people for the rest of their lives and I think that nobody should be barred for that."
But there is a strong reaction from Conservative and faith groups like the family research council, it's spokesman, Peter Sprigg.
"The mere 9 fact that someone openly identifies themselves as homesexual means that they are muddling 10 for boys, they accept the ability of homesexual conduct."
Also today, Rick Santorum, the former presidential candidate and senator wrote on a conservative website that ending the ban could signally quote, "A challenge to the scouts' very nature."
CNN's Jim Roop takes a closer look at the issue and how scouting 11 maybe affected 12 if the bans lifted.
The age of the scouts were dealing 13 with is that they're 11 years old and they're not up, they're so, they're like party.
"John Daniel is a scout leader, he is a typical of most scout leaders with whom might spoke 8 in Los Angeles. He's not completely against, lifting the ban, but he's not embracing it either."
"First of all, I think over time there certainly have been member gay adult leaders, great gay scout leaders in scouts that we didn't even know about. They never came out of the class and they just keep their private lives private. So, I'm not in favor of discriminating 14 or not allowing or rejecting any great leaders, who's been hanging on their sexual preference."
Of the leaders who would talk, no ones said would totally against exclusion 15 of anyone. But all, including Daniel, said there are inherent problems that will come if the ban is lifted. Especially with a confusion on all levels, that comes with boy of those ages, then makes that with homos.
"And put them in some awkward situations if there is a, if were gets out, or if a gay of scout comes out as openly gay, how do that affect the other boys, and maybe that's where they learn tolerance, maybe that's a whole another issue now the scout is set to deal with. But what about parents and families gone, "I'm not social, I want to send my son to spend the weekend attend with that boy.""
And there is a issue of openly gay scout leaders. 
"How do we cope with that? how do we deal with that?"
Other scout leader say as long as the strict use protection guidelines are followed and enforced, there should be no problem. Some of the attendants of the guidelines include no leader is permitted in a tent, car, room, anywhere alone with a boy, and there must always be at least trained adult leaders in any outing. Daniel also says, he wouldn't want this to become a bigger issue than just acceptance, there is a difference between accepting and encouraging.
