Looking for advice and/or comments about my 6-year old son and Cub Scouts

13. What is it that they are asking that you will have to lie about?

I think that is important about whether you would answer falsely.

Different individual troops are very different, and the national organization has little control over each troop. It is the national group that pushes it's agenda, but it depends on who is in charge locally as to what you will encounter.

I am not a parent, so what I think is hard to back up, but I have always believed that it is a good idea for children to know something about religion. Religion is a major factor in life here in the USA, and knowing about it is not a bad thing. In fact, if you really want a well-rounded education of your child, it is a must to learn about it. I do have a problem with indoctrination at that age, since they can be easily pulled into the crowd. But you know what is best, and you seem to care enough to speak frankly to him about anything he learns from them on religion, if anything.

Good luck, and keep us informed on whether you run into problems.
