Why can’t Rainer Beach Methodist Church choose their own Scoutmaster?

On 18, Apr 2014 | In scouting | By Scouts for Equality

Taking away Geoff McGrath’s role in this church’s Scouting program is in contradiction to RBUMC’s religious beliefs and a contradiction of your own policy.

From the BSA’s Charter and Bylaws:

Section 1. Activities, clause 2. The activities of the members of the Boy Scouts of America shall be carried on under conditions which show respect to the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion, as required by the twelfth point of the Scout Law, reading, “Reverent. A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others.”
