Woodcraft, Scouts, it seems to be an either or conversation. For myself, I went to a Catholic school and Cub Scouts with one set of beliefs, Woodcraft Folk with another and Air Training Corps with another still. As well as learning valuable lessons from all three I got to see differing philosophies from which I had to make my own mind up. And that's a good approximation of the real world.
I don't agree with sending your children or yourself only to groups that completely share your religion/philosophy/world view as it leads to narrow-mindedness. Every organisation is going to have ideas and people you agree with and don't agree with and to cut yourself off from them over the things you disagree with is a great shame. these organisations are not Young Communists and Hitler Youth in disguise.
To use a non-vegetarian saying, when faced with a chicken you eat the meat, spit out the bones.
