Boy Scouts Were Pressured by Corporate Sponsors to Change Policy on Gays

The Human Rights Campaign, a pro-gay rights advocacy organization, told BSA's corporate sponsors that it would downgrade their "non-discrimination ratings" if they continued to give money to BSA, according to NBC News.

It hasn't been said that Boy Scouts USA has adopted this policy, yet. Some churches have both Awana and Scouts, so they can just drop the Scouting program.
