Scouting

Here's my opinion about the Boy Scouts of America.

I think it is wrong for them to exclude homosexuals. Even so, it is still the best organization for kids that exists.

Hm, maybe I'll find out more about what I had heard. It was something about needing a particular badge to move up to the next level. If this kid didn't meet requirements related to religious participation, he couldn't advance in the Scouts, and it was a real problem for his agnostic mother (more than for the Scout himself!).

If something like that happened, it went against BSA rules on advancement. And they're pretty picky about following the rules.
