Baden-Powell would have approved of putting Allah in it, he was Ok with such cultural adaptations. Remember that in. his day Scouting became a huge international movement. Moslem boy scouts aren’t a new thing, neither are Buddhist or Hindu scouts. There are dozens of national variations I think.

He would certainly have made them keep the Queen in it though.

And I’m not sure that he would have approved of religiously segregated troops in Britain.

Agreed, nor would he have approved of the many ethnically segregated Troops which are here in the U.S. either.

Scouting is an international movement.
