Went to watch my son gain his silver cub award as he moves up to scouts. I was ignorant of the Christian push until then. I was surprised as to how they are ' programming ' them with prayer and hymn. Me an my partner being closer to paganism were the only ones not to join in hymn and prayer.
Nearly all the parents seemed like regular church goers. I'm not going to go on. Just found it all a bit strong and even though I acknowledge the good the movement does , I can't agree with the ' imprinting '

Chisller,
The groups and packs vary from Church attached groups to those like mine where I do faith and try and cover all religions briefly but prefer to be awed at the wonder of nature. I prefer to do faith without religion. You will find Scouting is a very broad subject from outdoors to crafts to Faith.
