The Boy Scouts of America claims to respect and accept all religions and they require the leaders of each unit to attest that the scouts and other leaders uphold the tenents of scouting. The ban on gay leaders (they just now accept gay scouts) stems from the requirement that scouts be "morally straight".

Forcing any particular point of view fails to respect the others.

She may have been related to the NYC department store which should be familiar to all- The World"s Largest Store!
Edith Macy was an American educator, social activist, and author who was influential in the development of the Girl Scouts of the USA. She was a strong advocate for girls' education and empowerment. Macy became the first national president of the Girl Scouts in 1922.
