Well that is one person's opinion. The scouts policy doesn't bother me. The Scouts do not reject "non-religious" parents, they reject parents who can't keep their mouths shut and sign a piece of paper. Seems more like a test to keep out opinionated people who cannot work and play well with others- sometimes that means being discreet about one's personal views. And if that is what they want to do - I don't give a flying F&ck. My views are distasteful to almost everyone- I only share them on the net with people who don't know me.

I have to wonder about a parent who wouldn't sign the paper, a parent who would make his kid cry 'cause he couldn't even allow for the possibility of a higher power?- me I didn't even read the paper. What do I care what it says? My disabled son wants to be a boy scout- that's ok with me. He has a lot of problems and even though I told the nice lady scoutleader all his problems she said "no problem- we have kids with lots of disabilities."

Del,

I really never saw the point in being a Boy Scout. The things scouting is supposed to teach are much better taught by parents, with no need for psuedo-military uniforms and some outdated stiff-upper-lip (but not much else)British ritualism.
