Hmmmmm...I thought this thread was about SpiralScouts, but I see that it has spiraled way off to somewhere else. Anyway, let's move on people. Pack up your soapboxes and go home. You know that no one ever wins or loses in these types of religous debates, so what's the point in continuing?

I am impressed with the responses posted on this thread. I am happy to see it has not become a religious flame war. You moderate yourselves very well. You have shown that you can agree to disagree and leave it at that. FYI.....Paganism includes many religions, and to break it down even more, denominations within those religions. Wicca is a religion within Paganism, with its own denominations. Since Pagans do not proselytize, I will not go on about Paganism, but will answer specific questions off list. There are plenty of Net resources available if you want to research these religions

I am the female Circle Leader of a SpiralScouts Circle in Columbus, Ohio. I come from Girl Scout and BSA backgrounds, having been a Brownie, Junior, and an Explorer in my youth and a BSA Den Leader, Troop Leader, Cub Master and Committee Chair as an adult. I'm married to an Eagle Scout as well. To my knowledge "Scouting" is a BSA copyrighted term. We do not use this word in the SpiralScouts organization. The word "scout" is one that can be used by anyone, since it is a part of our everyday language, and not a copyrighted term. SpiralScouts International is experiencing rapid growth
