   They're banning Wiccans? Good gravy. I was a Cub Scout leader, then
Leader trainer, then Boy Scout Roundtable Staff, then Wood Badge... then
found the SCA and didn't have time for Boy Scouts (besides, my boys liked
camping with the SCA every weekend, rather than once a month, more to their
taste). But the whole time I was involved as a Leader Trainer, I was
Wiccan - and usually was requested to add "my slant" on whatever holiday or
celebration we had coming up.
   I'm sorry to hear this. It's sad to think they were greater in their past
than they will be in the future.
