  • You are getting downvoted because it sound to absurd for France. I would have have downvoted you few years ago but unfortunately this is really what is happening right now.

    In this case the dangerous far-left extremist they arrested was just a guy who was planning a graffiti. The “far left literature” was a sociology manual because he is a student.

    In the mean time the French police also arrested 45 XR militant, they all been release now because they have nothing against them except for one of the activist who will be judge for the dangerous act of … Refusing to give the pin to unlock his phone.











  • The three core principles of scouting are:

    • Duty to God (adherence to spiritual principles, loyalty to the religion that expresses them and acceptance of the duties resulting therefrom)
    • Duty to others
    • Duty to self

    When asked where religion came into Scouting and Guiding, Baden-Powell replied “It does not come in at all. It is already there. It is a fundamental factor underlying Scouting and Guiding”. Source

    So unfortunately removing religion from the scouting would remove one of the core principle of the movement, I don’t think it would anytime soon.

    Which is a shame because I really enjoyed my time scouting, I think it was a great balance of fun, education and learning responsibilities. But the religion aspect of it make me seriously reconsider to send my kids to do it or not.
