This is on your website, and it is incorrect, and we need it to be changed. The reason we do not consider ourselves a "Secular" scouting organization is because we welcome ALL people, not just the non-religious. I don't really care WHAT that article says; just because someone posted an article about us on some 3rd-party website does not mean that they somehow know more about our program than WE do. Stating an organization is secular gives the incorrect impression that religion does not enter into it at all, and that's not the case. We actually give our Scouts the choice to use the word "God" in their Scout Promise if they so wish. It's a personal thing that we let them decide to include or not include (substituting "my conscience" for "God" or using the Outlander's Promise). Also, the BPSA in the United States formed in 2006, not 2002. We are NOT in any way connected with the Baden-Powell Scouts' Association of the UK, so there is no conflict of interest for DiverScout to edit this article about us. He is simply not a member of the BPSA US. Does that make sense? Hope so! I hope to get this resolved quickly. Again, the information on this article is incorrect and we may need to escalate this issue if it is not taken care of soon. Thank you.

dictionary defines "secular" as "denoting attitudes, activities, or other things that have no religious or spiritual basis." In either case, the intent/implication seems to suggest that "secular" means "separate from religion." Based on this, I don't think the term "secular" correctly applies to the BPSA. Our intent is to welcome all--not to imply that we have set ourselves apart from all things religious. In the BPSA, we have members who are deeply religious, including practicing Catholics, Jews, and a number of Christians, as well as at least one Pagan. And, on the other end of the scale, we have agnostic and atheist members, too. It would be more correct, although wordier, to say the BPSA is accepting of all religious beliefs and practices as well as those people who express no religious beliefs or practices. I Therefore, using the word "secular" absolutely could scare off some people who might otherwise benefit from the BPSA's program.

have not figure it out, the law is (or has been) biased against all non-BSA scouting groups as it has in the UK (see the BBS&GSA). If you have not figured it out, the Scouting WP Project and yourself in adopting the BSA's MOS is move that biases the project against other scouting groups. Since they have those advantage they end up being more cover by the news thus more notable then these groups. So, WP builds in that unnotability about the lesser group whether scout or scout-like organizations which this article attempt to rectify. Heck, I guess I should have just let each and every one of the article be deleted via the AfD process instead this attempt (the article) to at least have something about them here at WP.
894:←Secular means "1.Not specifically religious." Thus since you do take members of any religion or no religion there for you are secular. Really, kopper, you just claimed that you are affiliated with Baden-Powell Scouts' Association as that is what you want in the lead. "I don't really care WHAT that article says; just because someone posted an article about us on some 3rd-party website does not mean that they somehow know more about our program than WE do." Sorry, but that are the rules on WP. DiverScout, I suggest that you take your own advice since Kopper just point out TWICE now that you WHERE WRONG. So you need to go away and stop your attacks, flaming and goading me. 1701:
owns the newspaper which makes it self-publishing also); his credentials on the subject seem scant he even admits to have never been involved in Scouting and he definitely wants to push Christian organizations (AWANA and Christian Brigade). Second and more importantly the title is not neutral in regards to the organizations covered; it judges other youth organizations in relation to Scouting which is not fair to organizations that don't see themselves as part of the Scouting movement and who share only a surface resemblance to Scouting (having a pinewood derby clone is not sufficient). --

communist countries), they are all independent. I deleted "small," as that is not defined nor documented. An organization with over 1 million participants is not really small. Also, some of these may have clubs in countries other than the USA. For NPOV, an article like this should just list the Boy Scouts with the others, not indicate that there are the Boy Scouts, then everything else. All, including the "Boy Scouts" should be called "scout-like," if any are. The term scout is existed before the Boy Scouts, as for men who scouted for the army vs. Indians. (
113: 92: 123: 1404:? In addition the article almost completely ignores the most Scouting like organizations of all (BSA, GSUSA, Trail Life, American Heritage ) and points to separate wikipedia articles for them but gives a brief synopsis on AWANA which is many times bigger than Trail Life and American Heritage put together yet does not compare itself to scouting at all in their web site (it does seem to concentrate on religious study to the exclusion of most other things which doesn't strike me as notably scout-like ). -- 642:
nothing about the BPSA being "secular". That is a misleading and incorrect statement. Saying that we are "secular" implies that we are an atheist organization, which is not true. We allow religious people just as we allow nonreligious people to join. It also says that we are "a branch of the Baden-Powell Scouts' Association in the UK," which is also completely false. We are *affiliated* with them, yes, but we are not a branch. We are completely independent.

non-discrimination policy for his own Cub Scout pack. In the BPSA, David was responsible for adapting the programs of the other Baden-Powell Scouting associations in introducing youth sections to the BPSA's program. In 2009, Atchley became commissioner. By 2011, the association had only a handful of units. BPSA reincorporated in 2012, became an official 501©(3) nonprofit in 2013, and has since grown to include more than 45 chartered Scout groups today.

state. The BSA charter gave them a super-trademark status over Scout and Scouting and any other scouting term. They are also granted the right to copy US military uniform and insignias (although the BSA has done other wise) and were until recently granted access to military bases and land particularly for the tri-annual Jamboree. The US President is the honorary president of the BSA (although at last check Obama hasn't 'take up' the position).

rewrite of the info. Also, I don't think it's asking too much to simply refer to our association in the manner in which I asked in my opening paragraph above. It really is a better description of us, and can still be sourced from the same article. And, since this is OUR association we are talking about here, this is what we want, and how we want our association portrayed on your website. Does that make sense?

Adding the wood car racing was one of the last things I did before moving it into article space. Those races are a main activities (and includes woodworking) of "junior scouting" like Cub Scouting, so are a clue to those programs. 566:: "He eventually learned about the Baden-Powell Service Association, which formed in the United States in 2006 but had only an adult component."
