Scouting and Christianity?
Baden-Powell may well have said "Scouting is applied Christianity," but I am not so sure that the modern BSA should be associated with Christianity, as in the sentence
- As a result of their strong adherence to traditional Christian morality...
It seems to me that the Boys Scouts are better characterized, not as Christian, but as embracing the sort of "generic religion" espoused by Benjamin Franklin. The BSA mission and vision statements mention God and reverence, but make no reference to Christianity. BSA fact sheets include titles such as
- Scouting in the Buddhist community
- Scouting in the Islamic community
- Scouting serves the Jewish community
