I agree with what you have written. But, for the most part, the troops with which I have had experience do not push religion in your face at all. The exceptions may well be the LDS and RCC sponsored troops.

The UMC does not shove it in your face. And the PCA and SBC sponsored troops have bolted from BSA since 5/23/2013.

I agree that todays young families may well percieve that religion is going to be forced in their faces, but that was, for the most part, not my experience.

We had prayers back when I was in an RC sponsored troop, but I have been out of Scouting since 2001, when I turned 17 and got Eagle, we prayed and had an appointed troop chaplain back then, can’t speak for now though.

As I may have mentioned, my father didn’t belong to religion, but personally knowing and respecting a Scoutmaster that I had at the time, he was fine with me being in that troop.
