The Boy Scouts of America will accept openly gay youths starting on New Year's Day,
a historic change that has prompted the BSA to ponder a host of potential complications
— ranging from policies on tentmates and showers to whether Scouts can march in gay pride parades.

"My hope is there will be the same effect this Jan. 1 as the Y2K scare," said Brad Haddock,
a BSA national executive board member who chairs the policy implementation committee.
"It's business as usual, nothing happens and we move forward."
Some churches are dropping their sponsorship of Scout units because of the new policy
and some families are switching to a new conservative alternative called Trail Life USA.
But massive defections haven't materialized and most major sponsors,
including the Roman Catholic and Mormon churches, are maintaining ties.
