I wonder if this depends on location? There must have been some religious element to my scouts – the hall was attached to a church – but I can’t remember that part of it at all.
it definitely does, and how much influence the parents have. i was in two troops as a kid, one was clearly secular, the other was dominated by bougie christian quasi fash (prob full fash by now). the parents absolutely ruined the youth’s experiences in the latter, and propped up their own kids with special status and privileges.
