This is fine. <br /><br />She wants to involve him in scouting. Also fine. <br /><br />She has signed him up for Royal Rangers, which is kind-of like scouts only with a bigger helping of God. This is not fine <i>for me</i>. <br /><br />Her husband's parents are big on the God front and I suspect they are pushing this form of scouting rather than traditional BSA or whatever though honestly BSA isn't godless either. Also kid's dad was a Royal Ranger and so he thinks his kid should be a Royal Ranger like his dad was.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://which-chick.dreamwidth.org/662144.html#cutid1">I just want to do outdoorsy merit badge crap.
