Spiral Scouts - Like the BSA and GSA, Only Not

I'll cop to reading Fark at work. I came across this piece, and it got me to thinking about whether or not I'd be OK with Lucas being a Boy Scout.

I gotta admit - I like the Spiral Scouts. I say this as a former Boy Scout, one who happily did not have the same experience as Canteen Boy. Good times - the camping, the merit badges, eating the candy bars that I was supposed to be selling to raise money for the troop and sticking my parents with the bill. It should come as no surprise that I was not an Eagle Scout (in any sense), but I was a troop leader (Junior Assistant Scoutmaster!) up through my sophomore year in high school. (Then I discovered that if you wanted to get laid, looking like this was not the way to go about it). As a grownup, though, I'm not too keen on the exclusionary factor - the BSA loves God, and we all know God doesn't like gay people, just ask Pat Robertson. Because the BSA is a non-profit organization that exists for the betterment of children and not to establish any kind of monopoly over youth groups, they sent the Spiral Scouts (with their vast horde of Pagan Followers - a whole 600 people!) a cease-and-desist letter. Looks like somebody's gonna earn their Corporate Bullying merit badge! Seems to me that the Spiral Scouts are doing nothing more than offering kids who might feel unwanted by the "real" Boy Scouts an opportunity to do something similar. Plus - you know that when the Spiral Scouts are sitting around the campfire, they're not crooning "Kumbayah" - they're singing along to Zeppelin's fourth album.
