The same thing happened to my daughter. She joined the local cubs, at which point I mentioned the fact that we weren't Christians and was told it didn't matter. However, when it came to making the promise, she was given a selection of promises to choose from - all of which involved promising to love one God or another. She was advised by one of the helpers to 'just say it, you don't have to believe it'. I was extremely proud when she stood up for herself and said she didn't believe in God or in telling lies. I took it up with the district commisioner and was told that the scout movement didn't want people like us joining. Erm, is that intelligent logical people then?
