NeuroTypical Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 That's ok Nadia. I remember being totally dumbfounded by the notion, when my episcopalean friend showed up one day wearing his Scout uniform. I thought he was a spy or something.

Backroads Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I bet Baden-Powell has been baptized by proxy.Probably a bunch of times over, too.In my area most people don't realize the separation. They can't figure out why boys don't automatically move when the ward splits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroads Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Just got off the phone with someone who feared he was going to get "kicked out of the church" for a registration issue. I assured him it probably wouldn't happen as the LDS church and Scouting are separate. The man was shocked to learn this. Asked what the difference between Scouting and Priesthood was. He felt much better after we got off the phone, but wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
