Boy Scout Oath or Promise
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.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
Seems some of the board members have a problem with ‘mentally awake’ too.
Still, there is a way that the BSA can ‘cut the baby in half’ on this one:
If you look at this as ‘dealing with multiple genders’, then you could say, “OK, we’ll let them into the venturing program, where everyone is 14 or older. We already allow two genders into that program, a third isn’t going to make a difference.”
