“Not my understanding and they are most often housed with a Christian Church.”
It’s a fact. The BSA and/or the World Scouting Movement do not have as a requirement that you must be Christian.
In fact, Baden Powell specifically mentioned that AS LONG AS people believed in some sort of supreme being - something greater than themselves - then there was a chance that people from different cultures could come together under the precepts of the Scout Law and Oath.
Atheists are a different matter. Anyone who believes they themselves are the supreme being, well . . .
Churches here in the US do make good Charter Partners, however, there is no requirement that the members of the Troop or Pack belong to that Church, or even that religion.
