| Eagle Boards are run differently in different places. In many places, nobody on the Board will know your son at all. I will suggest to you that the Eagle Board is probably not the place to air your family's disagreement with BSA on religion and homosexuality. The Board won't ask about your views, but they may ask about his, especially about religion. If he says he doesn't believe in God at all, they may reject him, and he won't win that appeal, either. (If a scout says that he's gay, that would also cause him to be rejected, by the way.) There are lots of people inside and outside of Scouting who disagree with these and other policies, but BSA is free to manage its own membership as it wishes. Some of these things may change over time, as they have in other countries, but I'd hate for any particular boy to be put in the middle of those disputes. |
