It follows BSA guidelines, but is even more closely aligned with its sponsoring institution. So, it was intended for your troop to seem like part of the church that sponsored it. However, many troops are sponsored by the PTA or by civic organizations such as Rotary and Kiwanis, so church sponsored troops are not the only option.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry that you do not feel that your scouting experience provided the kind of ideals that you would like to pass on to your children, but one of the nice things about Scouts is that nobody is required to join. But that's not good enough for the ACLU. It wants to remake the BSA in its own image or else destroy it altogether.Scott Hinrichshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831447472339880148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10424035.post-1123979436834405122005-08-13T18:30:00.000-06:002005-08-13T18:30:00.000-06:00Where I grew up in Bountiful, the scouts and relig...Where I grew up in Bountiful, the scouts and religion (LDS) were one and the same. Maybe that is a problem or maybe they were just being honest. When I have children, they won't be scouts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
