Girlguiding UK announced in June that members would no longer mention God or “country” in the oath, but pledge to “be true to myself and develop my beliefs,” and serve the “community”. Although the decision brought in a record 839 complaints, the organisation has refused to back down, saying that mention of God was deterring new members.

Interesting. Here in the US, roughly two-thirds of all Boy Scout troops are associated with Mormons and non-religious groups, one-sixth are associated with Catholics and Methodists, and another one-sixth are shared across all other Protestant groups.
