“Should have shown the backbone that they ask their young members to have.”
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
BTW I am offended by the mosque on Temple Mount. Think I’ll get any satisfaction?
That is a great comment!
“They mean Muslims don’t they.”
Possibly Sikhs and Hindus, too, of which they have quite a few in the U.K.
This is sad - I wasn’t really brought up in the church, and ended up as an atheist, but traditional beliefs should not be thrown away like this. I attended a few Scout camp outdoor chapels in my day, and was never offended (maybe bored) by it, despite my personal lack of faith. Of course, as a heathen some would argue I should never have been in scouting at all. That would only have deprived them of an active member, and me of a valuable experience.
I applied for a job some years ago at our regional level of the Girl Scouts. I was extremely uncomfortable with the woman interviewing me. She just wasn’t what I thought of at all when I remember Girl Scouts. She could have fit within your description of the national leaders, I don’t know.
Well, does the chapel exclude non-Christian Scouts or doesn't it? If non-Christian Scouts were not allowed to attend the services there, if they were truly excluded, then I could understand.
If I'm Polish and Italians come to my house for dinner, they shouldn't be surprised to be served galumpkis and pierogis.
Really?!? Wow and this site only lists 113. And less than 3 percent of the entire population of the UK.
I'm just suprised London only has 113 street corners. I remember more for some reason....
Devolution continues its spiral into hell.
In a way, this is a related story:

When I see statements like ‘whatever God that may be’ it tells me they’d already torn down the chapel in their hearts.
When I was a Girl Scout, I thought of it as a Native American thing.
EIN VOLK, EIN ISLAM, EIN ALLAH
More PC surrender crap.
We are slipping down the slope day by day now to a new age of martyrs. What will Christians do when God commands them to witness and Caesar commands them to be quiet and don’t be seen or heard?
Goodbye merrey old England. Hello . . . to what?
I was having a nice day, being a former Eagle Scout, and having had a good lunch, as we former Eagle Scouts tend to do, generally being employed, and suddenly I’m put in an apocalyptic mood. Or am I apoplectic? Regardless, this is dangerous, dangerous stuff when the Boy Scouts can't have a Christian chapel to pray in, because of offense.
And how many were there twenty years ago?
Half as many?
A third as many?
Fundamental atheists offend me.
Pray for W and Our Troops
