What does this have to do with the Celts?
Male/female balance? Positive integration? Real world? Children not born with prejudices? This is a recipe for disaster. (Cliché intended).
Instead of spreading truth, justice, and beauty, all that will come of this is deceit, injury, and ugliness. I pity his blindness, and am saddened for the children who will be injured.

Boy Scouts is about surviving in the wilderness and not getting lost. Being prepared through knowledge and training to face whatever emergency arises. A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent, remember? Don't see tolerant on the list, but it might be implied.
"you were there" is great (i wore my cassette copy out from playing it too much. i think "notes of a lost civilization", and "romeo unchained" are two of his best albums--Everytime i read a news story like the one from this post one of his songs will flash through my mind.

Got invited to leave my Troop when I came back from college with hair down to my shoulders, and my SM and Committee Chair took me aside and told me I looked like a pimp. Twenty five years later I attended a Troop meeting with my son, stuck my hand up, and recited the Scout Law and the Scout Oath for the first time in a quarter century -- letter perfect.
Any criminal justice college book specifies denominational satanic worship in details of their ploy, actions and dangers, this wiccan garbage mirrors the devil worship garbage.
Let them have satanic scouts...who cares... just don't push their anti-religion hatred and lies of whom they are on everybody.
May God bless and Protect America.
Whatever they do they should stick to their leftist issues and leave those that could give a rats patard and the so called 'religious right,' out of it.
Let them have their own club of worship gaia and satan or mother sun the UN symbol, Al Gore, tress, or whatever...why can't they leave Christianity and basic moral common values alone and stop bashing.
