You obviously have little understanding of the Scout Program.....The Scout program has Muslim, Hindu, Jewish Catholic, Baptist, Protetstant groups for chartered suppport organizations...Churches, synagoges, mosques etc.

Scouts are of all religions backgrounds, beliefs and enthnicity....

The sweetheart deal you referenced is not for the Scouts, but for the city....The Scouts took raw uniproved city land and built a fully functioning camp...The Scouts were to improve the campsite at their material cost of $1.7 Million of the next couple of years which does not take into account the thousands of volunteer hours poured in by parents and scouts toward the projects goal....

The Scout organization DOES NOT require adherence to a specific God just that each Scout/Leader have a general belief system.

It will not allow homosexuals into an all-boy/male organization. This is freedom of association.... a basic tenet of our constitution....There is no discrimination based on race, religion, color or creed.....

Actually no. Athiests and agnostics are not allowed to join. They may have all religious backgrounds, but clearly not all beliefs...
