They do require a belief in God which I lost at 10 years old. I would have to have lied to get in... there was an interest, but the archaic (IMO) requirement to testify that you believe in God felt wrong, especially when I knew kids in it who didn't seem to believe in God any more than I did. I wasn't an atheist, but didn't see any evidence for it (I was a logical kid!) I was simply agnostic. From the activities I saw, a belief in God didn't seem very important.

I don't like their position on gays. I can't support what they do for that reason. I am totally against that kind of really strong discrimination. That is my PERSONAL point of view. What I say would not make "sense" to anyone who did not agree with me on that kind of discrimination (and I don't know where you would come down on that.). But the fact that I don't support it, makes no difference to the way I teach, or how I would support a student who wants to be in the boy scouts. It's not my business to "convert" people in to being boy scout dislikers.
