We have been discussing it, and we are truly torn.  We know this is likely the first of many situations that we will run into where our atheism is in conflict with what he is hearing. I was wondering if anyone has had an experience or insight that might be helpful to us as we navigate.  Have you been in a very liberal scout troop?  If the local troop takes it easy on the God/homosexuality component should I still be concerned with the larger organization's clear omission of respect toward atheists? [/quote]

You should also be aware that, as atheists, you and your husband are technically not entitled to become registered Cub Scout leaders -- either den leaders, or Packmaster; nor can you register to serve in  any other job, such as Popcorn Colonel; no could you work at a Boy Scout camp as Aquatics Director, for example.

If they found out you were atheist, you could lose your position, even if volunteer.
