My husband faced the UW situation for the first time last week.
We found out that the Atlanta chapter DOES support the Boy Scouts, and doesn't support any abortion groups. We gave a small directed donation to several Boy Scouts groups (DH is an Eagle Scout) and a crisis pregnancy center.
Just another way that Georgia beats California.
Good for Georgia!
I think we can ALL beat California. With one hand tied behind our backs!
Question for your chapter is, "Do you contribute anything to the Scouts BEYOND DIRECTED CONTRIBUTIONS?" If they don't then they are no better than any other UW chapter. They realize you'll support the Scouts and all they are doing is taking a cut for their overhead of overpaid and papmered employees.
You should have seen all the "wealthy women" (based on appearance) that I encontered at the Wharton School who turned out to be professional "fund raisers".
