For my pagan friends
Dec. 28th, 2005 12:56 pmHere's a resource for pagan parents: SpiralScouts
From today's Register-Guard:
Five-year-old Jade Rainsong jumps out of his mother's car, looking sharp in his green pressed shirt, tan pants and brown hiking boots. "I've got on my SpiralScout uniform and mud-whompers!" he boasts.
Jade, new to the whole scouting experience, races to the door of his 4-year-old buddy, Joey. Inside, the two boys and five other youngsters - three of them girls - prepare for a Saturday afternoon of crafts, snacks and fun.
But this is not their parents' Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts - immediately evident when these kids gather around a coffee table and light candles in solemn tribute to earth, water, fire and air.
No, this is the SpiralScouts - the pagan version of learning outdoor skills and earning badges.
