The ongoing issue between the Boy Scouts and gay youth and gay leaders are not the only people they are discriminating against. A lot of people are not aware that to join the Scouts, you have to believe in a deity; there is a long list to choose from. The youth who opt to believe in science and free thinking are not welcome in the Scouts. While out camping, in one of the deep discussions around a campfire, a kid makes a statement, “I think scientists are right, the world is billions of years old and not created 6,000 years ago. I believe in evolution.” The Scout leaders would panic, but his fellow Scouts could start thinking logically.
