karen1970 10 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I was wondering what you all thought about a YMCA chartering a unit. I know BSA has some "roots" if you will with the Y, But I don't believe I have heard of a unit being chartered by the Y. Link to post Share on other sites
Oak Tree 15 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Seems fine to me. The YMCA sponsors 456 units, according to http://www.scouting.org/About/FactSheets/operating_orgs.aspx Link to post Share on other sites

ScoutNut 147 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Our local Y' charters a Pack. They have not branched out to a Troop yet. Link to post Share on other sites
llwyn 10 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 You kidding? I think the Y would be the BEST place to charter a troop - as long as it had a pool, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Oak Tree 15 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Interestingly, YMCA's hold the position that their programs are open to all, regardless of age, race, sex, faith, background. I wonder if they realize that their Scout programs do not meet this condition. (I couldn't find one official national statement that was precise - each local YMCA appeared to have their own slight variation on the statement.) I will say that I find the non-discrimination statement to be inaccurate as a completely general statement - they certainly have programs that are age-limited. Link to post Share on other sites
