Hmm I never realised that, and I was president of the Calgary Venturer Council for two years. Interesting. Can't say I have ever seen any sort of practical concern or impact on this front, and I'm pretty sure none of us ever really thought about it much, even those who were non-believers. Thinking back to Cubs and Scouts there were always badges to be earned for faith, but I remember at least three badges available for this competency (Christian, Jewish, and Muslim... there may be more for other religions).

I do know that about half the Scouts Canada groups in Calgary are LDS groups and have little to no interaction with the other half of the groups.
