What are they searching for?

“You need to have a recognition of a supreme being. We as the Boy Scouts do not define what that is, but you need to have a recognition.”

“Every Boy Scout and adult leader must attest to that belief on an application in order to join. It can be part of subscribing to a structured religion — such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam or Hinduism — or a more amorphous faith in some presence greater than ourselves.”
