The Gay/Athesist/Pagan/Lesbian/Transgendered/Democrat scouts are here. They are called SpiralScouts!

Actually, in looking at the Spiral Scout's web site, it seems that they do acknowledge a spiritual side to the universe. So they wouldn't qualify as atheist.

Sprial Scouts seems to be set up for pagans. However, it seems to me that as long as a pagan doesn't violate any of the BSA's membership standards (gender/age combinations, "avowed" homosexuality, criminal record), they are free to join the BSA as members in good standing. The BSA is not exclusively a Christian organization.

Spiral Scouts says it is for pagans. Atheists and agnostics are not pagan any more than they are christian. In fact, pagans and christians have more in common with each other than either does with agnostics or atheists.

>>They are called SpiralScouts! <<

I read their page -- gave me the willies!! *shudder* On the other hand, I would never even think about trying to get them to accept someone who did not share their Pagan notions. It's freedom of association that is at issue here, not moral relativistics.

Best example I can think of: I am pretty sure only Catholics can join the Knights of Columbus.
