You my not know it, but my unit is unconventional. We've been self-chartered for the last 43 years of our 80+ year history.

The parents of many of our Scouts are professionals employed by a major private university/research hospital or federal research facility.

As a result, during my tenure with the unit, we've had Scouts and Scout Leaders from at least eight religions, if you count all Protestants as one religion, and exclude Theists as a religion.

We've had several excellent Latter-Day Saints Scout Leaders and Scouts, although we are not a LDS unit.

I have worked with a few LDS Scouters who “got it”...unfortunately, they are an exception, not the rule in this area.

Our unit is chartered by a “private organization” on an AF base...we have folks from various backgrounds like you...but most are affiliated with either the USAF, or various aerospace companies/entities that are located here.

So, I guess you could say we’re “unconventional” in a way as well.
