Fact is the church and scouts don't need dope-smoking riff-raff as leaders anyway.

So, I guess it is a WIN-WIN.

One of my friends, who is estranged from the church, whom I approached about being involved in my troop....I expected him to possibly say 'I don't agree with scouting policy on...therefore I cannot in good conscience..."

Nothing of the sort. Due to time/work he is not involved, but I hope to pull him in eventually.

Wow Mike. This was supposed to be a nice thread, as Homeboy pointed out, and I even apologized for bringing up the gay thing, then I voiced appreciation for what you are doing personally, and then I dropped it.

If we both agree that it was probably a WIN-WIN that I give up my calling as Young Men's president when I left the church then why the hostility?
