The BS likes to meet in churches. The churches most opposed to ***
rights like the BS because they don't allow *** leaders.

The BS works hard at keeping the kids safe. Every activity has to be
supervised by at least two adults. My son was in a pack with two
leaders. It seemed kind of funny, since it met at one leader's house,
and there were only two kids in the pack, our son and their son (my wife
was the other leader).

The GS are even more stringent. Not only do there have to be at least
two adults present, but they can't be all men.
