Sure, it's a well-researched theory. But is it more significant than his military career and his foundation of the global Scouting movement, which is how it looks from the current balance of content?
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.
