his military career and his foundation of the global Scouting

To someone who chooses to read the article, the answer is yes. The
question is one of considerable public interest, in view of the
controversial decision of some scouting associations, such as the Boy
Scouts of America, to deny membership to openly gay men and boys,
while others have a quite different attitude. Scouts Canada for
instance has a gay and lesbian troop, Rover Crew 129, which has
participated as a troop, in full uniform, in Toronto's Gay Pride
march. This article would be, I dare say, of intense interest to
members of the American and Canadian scout movement who are involved
in this controversy.
