 That was not my intention, I hoped to use this as an example for parents
of what their children may experience in these service organizations as
there is no qualifications or screening done before someone is placed
in the position of leading these children. I know this for a fact as
both my wife and myself are girl/boy scout leaders.

 Also I did not mean to imply that the entire organization was racist
merely amateurs that many parents in todays society (personal experience
and opinion only) are depending on to form the morals of their children.

 In other words BE INVOLVED AND BE CAREFUL!.
