Read Slowly:
The Volunteers had to be 18 or older!
Boy Scouts are 14 - 16
I - am - reading - s-l-o-w-l-y ...
But, I don't understand what age of Boy Scouts has to do with opposing Obama.
“The Volunteers had to be 18 or older!”
Who made up that rule?
Thanks for posting the facts.
Boy Scouts are 14 - 16
No, that's not the ages of Boy Scouts.
Boy Scouting is for boys from eleven (11) up until the age of eighteen (18), except that boys who are ten (10) and have completed the fifth grade, or who are ten (10) and have earned the Arrow of Light, may become Boy Scouts. Source: The Boy Scouts of America.
LDS units may be slightly different under the terms of the 1913 agreement between the Boy Scouts of America and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that permits the LDS Church some flexibility with the Scouting program. You can download the Scouting Handbook for Church Units in the United States, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the "LDS Scouting Handbook") from ldsbsa.org
If organized pursuant to the LDS Scouting Handbook, there's a unit for boys 8-11, a unit (Boy Scouts) for boys 12-15 (the Aaronic Priesthood Quorum), and boys 16-17 "when the ward sponsors a Venturing Crew or when rank advancements are being pursued." (LDS Scouting Handbook, page 2). However, LDS Units frequently use Varsity Scouting beginning at age 15.
In traditional Scouting, you have Cub Scouting (Tiger Cubs/Cub Scouts/Webelos) in first through fifth grade, or if not in those grades, ages 7-10, then Boy Scouting 11-17, with Venturing a co-ed option ages 14-21. There are such things as Venture Patrols within Boy Scout Troops, but that's different than a Venturing Crew.
I don't know about the required age for volunteers - but you have the ages of Boy Scouts wrong.
You do also understand that the Boy Scouts had been assisting with the Olympics games for years. Romney’s taxpayer subsidized Olympics was the first to outright deny them that opportunity. Making up the rule that they had to be 18 and could not wear their uniforms in service was to appease the gays Romney was trying to impress.
