[Bobwhite Blather] Is Scouting a religious organization?

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

There's a new item at Bobwhite Blather: 'Is Scouting a religious organization?'

You have likely heard the fable about the blind men and the elephant. It's a
tale that's told in many of the world's religions as a means of explaining how
everyone views the diety differently. One version of the story is told:
Six blind men were asked to determine what an elephant looked like by feeling
different parts of the elephant's body. The blind man who feels a leg says the
elephant is like a pillar; the one who feels the tail says the elephant is like
a rope; the one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a tree branch; the
one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand fan; the one who feels
the belly says the elephant is like a wall; and the one who feels the tusk says
the elephant is like a solid pipe.[Wikipedia]
What brought this to mind was a discussion we were having last week about the
new Boy Scout requirements, particularly the ones at each rank relating to a
Scout's duty to God.
