UPS and Intel end support of BSA

Yes, it's part of the Woodbadge curriculum. And the point is to get us to see things through the scouts' eyes, not ours. It's something you should keep in mind even if all your boys go to the same church.

 

I've taught Sunday school long enough to know kids who are heretical for a large portion of their teen years. They spend a lot of time trying to make their world view fit into our denominational box. Every church service is alien to them, even if their parents are daily devotional befor dinner types. It takes the living life as an adult to help them determine if this religion is for them.

Although the interfaith service is part of the Woodbadge program, what the service program is on is not scripted.. The hymns, prayers and message are all created by one of the senior staff members. For us it normally goes to the ASM of Troop Guides, but that might be different for other councils program.

O/T - while we often disagree here, I wish that you all have a great Thanksgiving and hope you all have the opportunity to spend it with your loved ones.

My two cents...

 

As long as the single largest National Chartered Partner of the Boy Scouts of America, with the most units and youth under charter, remains so...

 

And ...

 

As long as that Partner has its internal policy on the character of homosexuality...

 

Then...

 

The National Council is not going to change the BSA determination on the characteristics of leadership standards.

 

Or else...

 

That National Chartered Partner, and its youth, will be gone from BSA like a laser in laser tag, never to return.
