You can do that and achieve that by going camping with your own kids, or with friends.

There is no need to patronize a group which does not accept people as they are.

Boy Scout Oath, Law, Motto, and Slogan

Scout Oath (or Promise)
-On my honor I will do my best
- -To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
-- To help other people at all times;
-- To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law
- TRUSTWORTHY
- - A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises. Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can depend on him. (Jerry's note: I don't see anything which says only people like him can depend on him.)
- LOYAL
- - A Scout is true to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school, and nation. (Jerry's note: I don't see anything which says only people like him are part of his friends, school and nation.)
- HELPFUL
- - A Scout is concerned about other people. He does things willingly for others without pay or reward. (Jerry's note: I don't see anything which says only he is only concerned about people like him.)
- FRIENDLY
- - A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He seeks to understand others. He respects those with ideas and customs other than his own. (Jerry's note: I don't see anything which says only people like him ... IN FACT ... it says "is a friend TO ALL".)
- COURTEOUS
- - A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows good manners make it easier for people to get along together. (Jerry's note: I don't see anything which says only people like him deserve being polite and courteous to .... IN FACT ... it says "to EVERYONE".)
- KIND
- - A Scout understands there is strength in being gentle. He treats others as he wants to be treated. He does not hurt or kill harmless things without reason. (Jerry's note: I don't see anything which says only people like him are to be treated like him.)
- OBEDIENT
- - A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobey them. (Jerry's note: I don't see anything which says only people like him are protected by the laws of the community and country ... IN FACT ... it says that if "laws and rules are unfair", that "he tries to have them changed".)
- CHEERFUL
- - A Scout looks for the bright side of things. He cheerfully does tasks that come his way. He tries to make others happy. (Jerry's note: I don't see anything which says only people like him deserve to be happy.)
- THRIFTY
- - A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for unforeseen needs. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property. (Jerry's note: I don't see anything which says only people like him are to be helped.)
- BRAVE
- - A Scout can face danger even if he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at or threaten him.
CLEAN
A Scout keeps his body and mind fit and clean. He goes around with those who believe in living by these same ideals. He helps keep his home and community clean.
- REVERENT
- - A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others. (Jerry's note: AND, LAST BUT NOT LEAST ... I don't see anything which says only people like him deserve to have his respect for their beliefs.)

Scout Motto
- Be Prepared

Scout Slogan
- Do a Good Turn Daily (Jerry's note: This should first start by accepting ALL OTHERS, regardless of their beliefs, doing good also includes tolerance and acceptance of others different than they are.)
