And now for something for the Beavah...

 

One day I'll be famous! I'll be proper and prim;

Go to St. James so often I will call it St. Jim!

One evening the king will say:

"Oh, Liza, old thing,

I want all of England your praises to sing.

Next week on the twentieth of May

I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day!

All the people will celebrate the glory of you

And whatever you wish and want I gladly will do."

"Thanks a lot, King" says I, in a manner well-bred;

But all I want is 'enry 'iggins 'ead!"

Winter nights we sang in tune

Played inside the months of moon

Never think of never

Let this spell last forever

Summer lover passed to fall

Tried to realize it all

Mama says she's worried

Growing up in a hurry, yeah

 

oops - definitely NOT music man:

You're right Macy. It's unfortunate.

 

I think your original post asked a good question. Yes, the board has every right to ask the scout about how he met the requirements of the rank. That includes how he meets his obligations to be reverent and to perform his duty to God.

 

I believe that it is rude asking him what his religion is, and it's irrelevant to the requirements unless the scout brings it up in his explanation since belonging to a religion is not needed in order to fulfill the requirement.

 

I hope this helps you. If you would like more information without the enhancement of a musical soundtrack then please feel welcome to private message me and I will help you find the BSA resources to help you better understand the bor process.

 

If you would prefer getting help from one of the other posters or chorus members then I am sure they would welcome you to contact them directly as well.

 

I hope this has helped.

Or cue Bob the Serious, who positively, absolutely REFUSES to sink to the occasion.

 

I won't grow up,

I won't grow up,

I don't want to wear a tie,

I don't want to wear a tie,

or a serious expression,

or a serious expression,

in the middle of July!

Cuz growing up is awfuller,

than all the awful things that ever were!

I won't grow up,

I won't grow up,

not me, not I, no way!

 

In fact, I propose the above as the subversive Scouter oath!

MacyM, I apologize if you consider this thread hijacked but to give you inside information, I was 2 seconds away from closing this thread. It had degenerated into a string of "I never said that", "yes you did" "where did I say" and other replies that were not on topic. My first post of "you gotta know your territory" was to get people off the where did I asy that line of responses and then it went off from there. The EBOR has a right to ask about reverence in the scout's life. The EBOR cannot make a judgement concerning the scout's reverence unless he state there is no God. I am not sure what else can be said on the topic, but that's just me, I could be wrong.

 

PS Vicki, you are welcomed at the Crew anytime, you know where we meet, second star to the right and straight on 'til morning

OGE, why close it? No one is getting angry at anyone. There's no harm. And MacyM has gotten a lot more than she probably thought she would, most everyone already gave their input, a long way back, and now we're just having fun, most of us anyway.

 

Edited part: in my best impersonation of Gunther Toody, Ooo! Ooo! OGE just referred to this thread (in the spun thread) in terms of 'darkness'.
