You should consider putting your kid in Scouts

It’s a religious entity. I spent 10 years there as a child and just drowned out the world to get past the religious bits of it. Will never encourage my kids to join. I’ll give them the joy and knowledge of the great outdoors without the scouts.

It’s not a religious org. I’ve got lots of non-religous families in my pack.

Part of the Scout Oath is that a “Scout is reverent” but it’s generally left up to families to define what “reverent” means in their families.

I’m sorry that you hate religious people so much that you will rob your own kids of some pretty great opportunities.

“Duty to God” is a principle of the Scout Movement, though it is applied differently in various countries.
