    CA-LAPD to cut ties with group linked to Boy Scouts

    LAPD to cut ties with group linked to Boy Scouts

    LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Police Department wants to stop working with the organization that runs its Explorer program for youths because the group is linked to Boy Scouts of America, which bans gays from becoming members.

    The organization, Learning for Life, was spun off from Boy Scouts of America.

    A department official told the Police Commission Tuesday that the Boy Scouts policy is "inconsistent" with the city's policy of non-discrimination. He suggested that the department manages the Explorer program itself.

    Learning for Life officials say the organization does not discriminate and does not take funds from the Boy Scouts.
