I was never a scout. I don't think that scouting was all that odd when I was a kid in the 70s. I believe that in the last 15-20 years or so the BSA has more or less become an arm of the Mormon Church (or CJCLDS as they prefer to be known). This alone accounts for any oddities that might exist. I am fairly certain that Mormons take a dim view of Unitarianism, and understandably so. Unitarianism denies the divinity of Christ, which would be a rather direct affront to Mormonism (and Christians in general). I can see how the BSA, as a self-proclaimed Christian organization, would object to Unitarianism.
I respect the BSA's right to be selective in its membership. Private organizations are just that: private. If you don't like scouts, don't join--they certainly won't let you join if they don't like you and they won't hesitate to give you the boot later if they feel the urge.

chicken stock question 1955Frenchy Two of those three are true. Wings are "good," "and make excellent stock." At least around here, they're never cheap. Leg quarters have been as cheap as 18 cents...
In my early backapcking experience (early 80s) I came across several places that had been BSA campsites. Let's just say that LNT wasn't exactly part of the plan. Their brute force approach to camping at that time was a real turn-off for me. I think they're better about that kind of thing now, but still not exactly paragons of LNT.
