Does having a DUI conviction preclude you from being a Boy Scout cubmaster or committee member?
Neo, dude, you have issues - I'm not even talking about myself here. Did I say anything about it being me? Seek help. Get therapy. ...

Hello hbds:
Yes, the conviction will preclude the candidate from holding a registered office with the BSA. This person may register as a parent of the boy, and serve in that capacity, but s/he cannot be officially recognized as an adult leader.
Keep on Scoutin’
Why you would want to be a Boy Scout anything is beyond me. That organization is one of the most evil and vile ones in America. You tell little kids they can’t join if they don’t acknowledge a god, and that "no person can become of the highest moral caliber without recognizing some responsibility to god".
You can keep your discriminatory and fake little club that molests little kids all you want.
And, furthermore, if you’ve had a DUI, you don’t deserve hands, far less the responsibility of brainwashing and abusing children. I had a cousin who was murdered by a drunk driver like you. Feel fortunate that I don’t know you.
EDIT – The fact that you’re even asking means you support this organization. If you’re asking on behalf of your drunk husband, it’s even worse. He’s so little of a man that he has his wife go ask for him.
If you can dispute that the Scouts of America discriminate against non-Christians, then by all means, please do so.
You will fail at this, and just further prove my point.
What I would seek therapy for, if I were you, would be why you feel any sense of kindred spirit with these people who exclude good kids from playing with their more godly counterparts. You are embracing segregation and religious discrimination, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
NO THEY are just worried about light-in-the-loafers types who got DONT ASK DONT TELL’ED out of the military..
we dont need anymore elton johns!
I think so but i am not sure. I am an eagle scout but have never ran into something like that. I do know that they do a background check for anyone who wishes to be an adult leader so im sure they will consider a DUI to be something when that person is applying to be cubmaster or a committee member. they have to look out for the safety of the children
Hey HBDS – not that he needs or asked me for this, but my pal Neo Draven has had quite a lot happen to him in his short span of life…things that at his age, most people will not see in their entire 100 years of life, if "blessed" to live that long.
If you have questions about this, you can anonymously contact your local BSoA, and find out. Actually, if you went to the website, I would imagine that somewhere under the Frequently Asked Questions portions, you’d find some headway on this.
I was a Cub Scout when I was a tyke, and I had fun, more so because I had the opportunity to hang around my friends from school. I wasn’t allowed to freely play outside with other kids because my mother had to work two jobs to support us, so we (sisters & brother) had to play in the back yard and be in the house when she got home.
Depending on the state, DUIs and DWIs are severely frowned upon. For liability purposes, DMV reports (and background checks) are ran when becoming a Cub/Scoutmaster. Here’s the kicker: DUIs are commonly known for being issued while on drugs (controlled substances), not drunk on alcohol, though it can be applied to alcohol.
If the DUI was in fact for controlled substances, then I don’t think the chapter would want someone with a record like this associated with minors. With the things that are being made available in the media concerning crimes against minors, every step someone takes is magnified.
He may have a better chance by volunteering at the YMCA or at a youth center (Boys Club of America).
