As the Boy Scouts prepare for their national convention in Philadelphia, a local Scout council is defying the organization's policy after voting unanimously not to discriminate against homosexuals who wish to be members.
The Philadelphia area's Cradle of Liberty Council, the nation's third largest, added "sexual orientation" to its policy of nondiscrimination, setting up a conflict at the convention, which begins today, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
