At least two churches in the Chattanooga area have decided to drop their sponsorship of Boy Scout troops. The decisions come after the national organization decided in May to allow openly gay members in the Scouts. Boy Scouts have met at Morris Hill Baptist Church since the 1930s, but now the pastor says the Boy Scouts' decision opens the church up to the possibility of a lawsuit. Oakwood Baptist Church of Chickamauga is also dropping its troop. And more churches are considering doing the same. The senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Soddy-Daisy says there's a good chance his church will also no longer sponsor its troop.
