[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ We as a society ALL benefit when we create strong, honorable young men.

There are fewer and fewr places in society that do this successfully and consistently. Scouts is one of these places. It needs to be kept intact, as a place for young boys to become young men.[/quote]

Strong honorable men don't discriminate based on religion.

Until Boy Scouts accepts all boys, it's not an organization I'd choose for any child of mine. [/quote]

BSA accepts boys of all faiths.  To be a Cub or Boy Scout you need to recite the Scout Oath which is ‘‘On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law.’   Duty to God is not defined by BSA but is decided upon by the family or place of worship chosen by the Scout.

Boys and their families may determine what it means to do your duty to God (or a Higher Power).   My son when he was a Boy Scout decided he was a Deist and the higher power he believed in was Science.

If you are an avowed atheist and refuse to recite or agree to the Scout Oath, you cannot be a Boy Scout.[/quote]
