Boy Scouts delay decision on gay members

2013-02-07 4

The Boy Scouts of America - one of the largest youth groups in the U.S. - has postponed its decision on whether or not to allow membership for homosexuals.

The organisation is asking for more time to review whether to end their century-old controversial ban on gay members.

Al Jazeera's Kimberly Halkett reports from Washington, where one former scout has created a group to lobby for the inclusion of homosexual scouts.
