boy scouts

[Guest guest]

My girls did girl scouts for a while but then they dropped out.

Recently, I had them enrolled in a spiral scouts troop. It is a group

for kids that are not christian although christian children are

welcome. Years ago, my friend's son was in boy scouts and they were

working on a religion badge. My friend, not being christian, wanted her

son to be able to earn the award based on her religion and the troop

leaders wouldn't allow it because boy scouts is a christian

organization. If you want a scouting group that is all about nature

and not about killing animals you could try to find a spiral scouts

group in your area. Let the leaders know why you are interested.

Maybe that will work.

That being said, I haven't heard any of my friends who have boys say

that the troop ever did anything with fishing and hunting. Perhaps, if

he really wants to be in the boy scouts, you can talk to the troop

leader and see if they do any of that. Maybe they don't so it won't be

a problem. Even if they do, you can keep your son home from those

types of activities.
