First let me say that I'm not disagreeing or trying to pick a fight -- I
don't really know how I feel about this whole situation. I agree that
adultery is wrong, but I am also sympathetic to the fact that sometimes
marriages don't work and people sometimes wind up in long lasting
relationships before the marriage is officially terminated. So, in the
spirit of clarification, not arguing, would you feel as strongly that a
Scouter should be sanctioned in the following situations?
1. A married committee member having an affair with a single person who is
not in Scouting?
2. A single committee member having an affair with a married person who is
not in Scouting?
3. A single committee member living with a single person of the opposite
sex?
4. Aperson who had an open affair that was ended prior to that person
becoming a Scouter?
5. Considering the original concern (two people on a unit committee, one
married, one single, having an affair), would you allow one or both to
return if the original marriage ended in divorce and the two people then
married? Would the timing of the beginning of the divorce and the
beginning of the affair (i.e., did the affair lead to the divorce or vice
versa) affect your thinking?
