There are many different type of Christianity based religions. Jehovah's Witnesses are one themselves. Being a christian is basically about believing that Christ was alive, and that he did come to earth at one point in time. The difference about Jehovah's witnesses and some other Christians is that Jehovahs witnesses believe that Christ was Jehovah's son, not God himself. And so, to answer your question, Jehovahs witnesses do not date girls or boys from different religions, Christian or not. If someone were to be in a relationship with a person who has a different god, it would almost be like he believes in that god as well. If a witness were to date a girl or boy of a different religion, it would be because he or she is not truly worshiping Jehovah.

While scouting offers young people ways to learn new skills and values, it also has certain beliefs and practices that are not compatible with the teachings of the Bible as observed by Jehovah's Witnesses. For example, Jehovah's Witnesses do not salute the flag. They view it as idolatry. Scouting requires an oath and the pledge of allegiance, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe you should give an oath to anyone but Almighty God. Scouting develops citizenship advocacy and patriotism, Jehovah's Witnesses remain neutral on political matters. Scouting employs a troop chaplain, Jehovah's Witnesses do not participate in interfaith. It is easy to see that scouting provides many positive benefits for their members. However, as adherence to Bible principles is a goal of Jehovah's Witnesses (even in small matters), participating in scouting would put them in many compromising positions so it is advisable to stay away from it.
