In a letter to the TAB, Shawn Fitzgibbons writes that he’s “an Eagle Scout who is ashamed of the Scouts‘ backwards policy [towards gays]” and “will be sending my medals back to the leadership of the National Boy Scouts in protest.”

Over the years, some people in Newton have argued that it’s unfair to associate the national Boy Scouts’ policies with what happens with our local scouts.

Anybody care to weigh in?
