A proposed shift by the Boy Scouts to drop its national ban on gay leaders and scouts is the center of attention as the organization’s board gathers for a meeting and a vote on the issue. The National Jewish Committee on Scouting polled its leaders Sunday and arrived with a resolution to push for abandoning the gay ban. “The proposed change is a good thing for scouting and a good thing for young men and women,” said the committee's chairman, A.J. Kreimer, an assistant professor of accounting at Temple's Fox School of Business.
