I wish the P.C brigade would leave things alone. I don't understand this one, if people don't wish to make the promise because it mentions God then don't join the Scouting movement. End of problem.

Re Church Parade...I think that any child who is a member of any division of the Scouting movement should attend Church Parades. When I was a Guide they were compulsory and the Beaver group that my son is a member of states that if you miss 3 or more Church Parades without reasonable explanation you will be asked to leave. They are only once a month after all and they don't have them in school hols so there are probably only about 8 a year.

I think that this is fair because the Beaver group is run and supported financially by the Church so it's only fair that they are going to want parents' support back.
