Au Contraire mon ami, the BSA was NOT always "religious", at least not in the sense that they are now (by that I mean, you didnt used to be REQUIRED to attend a Church, nor would you be denied membership for being agnostic)
The Scout Oath DID have the "G" word in it, and again, I dont have a problem with God. or Believing in God. My issue with Scouting is that they will deny a person membership for not having a regular religious component to their life.
The Girl Scout Oath will allow the girls to substitute "Goddess" or "Higher Power" (or the like) for "God" which I think is pretty enlightened of them!
