see above links for references:
Darrell Lambert was an eagle scout in troop 1531 in Port Ochard Wa.
He had earned 37 merit badges and had become and assistant scoutmaster with his troop. By boy scout standards he was one of the finest examples of what the boyscouts stood for. Except for one thing. Darrell is an atheist.
When the boy scouts discovered this they issued an ultimatum to him. He had one week to convert or he would be expelled from the troop. He did not and the boyscouts who at one time saw him as an eagle scout and one worthy to become an assistant scoutmaster expelled him.
After the United way stop funding for them for discrimminating against homosexuals they turned up the heat and now discrimmigate against atheists.
there seems to be no public list of those who fund them
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouting
other than the United Way which has since stopped. Is there such a list and how do you feel about your donations going to an organization that teaches children to discrimminate against gays and atheists?
