BSA has different awards/goals depending upon the religious affiliation (if any of the sponsoring group). the LDS one is VERY different from most Christian ones. I can see where faith would be an issue.
PYW posted a chart the other day with the different awards and denominations/religions.

Afa your comment if one religion is a cult all of them are, depends upon your definition of ‘cult’. There are three.
All religions are ‘cults’ only using the Anthropological definition. Mormonism is also a cult using the sociological definition (high control group) and theological definition (outside traditional Christian belief while claiming to be Christian). The latter two do not apply to over 90% of religions.Nicely framed distinctions.

To paraphrase the good captain, “What does a PCA church need with a Boy Scout troop?”

“The reality is that if one religion is a cult, all religions are cults.”
Exactly. There is nothing in Mormonism that is not shared by religion in general. A belief in the metaphysical.

To me, it makes them look like they are afraid of anyone who doesn’t toe the line in their doctrine.

No, that would be if they refused to allow a Methodist or non-denominational Christian to be leaders.
Mormons are a different bird all together.

Oh lease, dixjea. Show me my last cut and paste (that wasn’t lyrics or a picture), or retract your accusation.

Yup, call in the cut an paste queens.If there weren't such a WEALTH of claims, statements and downright lies from mormon leaders all the way down from Joseph Smith, there wouldn't be any material TO cut and paste.

But there is A LOT in Mormonism that is not shared by CHRISTIANITY in general. And THAT is why these people were not allowed to be scout leaders.

OK then. Presbyterians voted to allow gay clergy, but booted the Mormon cub leaders.
At least they have their priorities straight.

Yup, call in the cut and paste queens.Generally what is cut and pasted are statements from Mormon prophets and Apostles. When Mormons see those statements on a thread they have a tendency to "cut and run".
BTW you left out Elsie.

Wrong Presbyterians, Rip.
These are the conservative ones that broke of of the ones that allow gay clergy.
Their priorities are fine.

"I have a picture of Jesus in my living room." So did my Hindu landlady from 15 years ago.

Yes, I know about the rift. That was a general observation. I don’t imagine the PCUSA that accepts gay priests to have a different policy when it comes to Mormon cub scout leaders.

Presbyterians voted to allow gay clergy, but booted the Mormon cub leaders.That's about as fair as if I were to try to hang the Texas polygamists around the necks of the LDS folks in Salt Lake. Sort of a sun is to green as ocean is to yellow comparison.

Is it a slow day in Mormon-bashing land and we had to drag this out again? Give us some TRUTH to cling to; instead of our BIBLES and our GUNS!
