Delbert,
<<My post was filled with facts not opinion. BSA was chartered by Congress in 1916.
There was no religious test until 1970. It enjoys public sponsorship and uses public
facilities. Public schools and teachers are used for recruiting. Those are facts, not
opinions.>>

The scouts just like America was founded on christians principles by christians for christians. You lose sight of the fact that just about EVERYONE believed in God back then. They didn't put it in their charter because it was assumed that christian principles were always to be a part of the scouts, just like we assume there will be air to breath tomorrow. It would be very hard to believe for a person in 1916 that the world would be so different today. Putting things in their charter was only to insure the scouts would stay as it always has been because it was being attacked by the God haters like everything else.
