Boy Scouts of America membership controversies

[edit]

I reverted your edits as they were unsourced. I don't doubt there may be units that who have an unwritten "don't ask, don't tell" policy, but we need a reference for a statement of this controversial nature. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 19:51, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Upon reflection, it is my *opinion* that any unit adopting such a policy is going to eventually put their Scouts into a personal conflict. For example, let's say that Johnny joins the troop. The committee or the Scoutmaster finds out that Johnny is an atheist, but they decide to ignore it as Johnny is a great kid. Now Johnny goes up for his Eagle BOR and the district advancement chair asks him "how have you done your duty to God?". Does he lie and get Eagle at the cost of his personal morals or does he tell the truth knowing he won't make Eagle. Perhaps he doesn't realize he won't make Eagle, because no one has ever impressed the religious principle. Everyone looses at this point. In my opinion, until National changes policies, any unit with a policy like this is performing a deception. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 20:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
