Since someone mentioned it earlier in their own blog...

I want to get Ike into Scouting of some sort. But I do NOT want him in Boy Scouts of America. I don't support organizations that discriminate. Girl Scouts won't let him in. (An organization that is smart enough not to discriminate based on Sexual Identity/Orientation. Considering that most of the higher ups I ever met were Family, it would be quite stupid of them to adopt such policies.), so....what else is there? I'm only familiar with BSA and GSA. Are there other scouting type organizations out there in the world?

TIA

Oh! How about Campfire and/or 4-H?

A list of potential resources can be found at the bottom of this page:

I thought about Campfire...nearest Org is in Oakland...not sure if they have anything down here.

4-H OTOH is active locally. But its not really scouting...its mostly animal husbandry around here...I'll look into it more closely.

I'll look at that site and see what I can find.
