He shouldn't have been kicked out for it, but as Pyra says Christianity/religion is the very foundation of the scouting/cubs/beavers association, so they shouldn't have to change their view just like that, overall it does no harm. They also make it very clear that they are a religious organisation, so if you don't like it, don't go

That's not to say they're stupid for kicking him out though, I bet most of them don't have a clue what they're saying when they have to take all the vows when you go there

Just looks like a nothing story to bash Christianity/religion even more to me really

If he doesn't believe in a spiritual existence or entity then he can't join the Scouts - endof.

If he waits until he's 12, he will be eligible to join the Army Cadet Force :

I don't think they'll see a lack of spirituality as a problem,

I know what I mean thanks.

Obligation - The act of binding oneself by a social, legal, or moral tie.

He has no religious tie as he chooses not to believe. That is his obligation. I can't think of many instances where you are obliged to conform to a religious body.

No need to be patronising. If you cannot comprehend that then it's really none of my concern.
