One quarter of the girls and 12 per cent of the boys said they would consider a same-sex experience. Some Scout associations around the world bar homosexuals from their ranks although this is not the case in Britain.
More than 80 per cent of those questioned said they were happy to get drunk and almost half said they would smoke marijuana if offered.
Nine out of 10 Scouts and Guides said they expected to have sex before they got married, and almost half said they would be happy to commit adultery.
...
Half the respondents said they believed in God, 39 per cent said they had the right to an abortion if they needed one, and 91 per cent said they happily downloaded pirated material from the internet.

Me too.
The Guide Association I belong to includes teaching safe sex, and has includes homosexuality in it's non discrimination policies. So I don't think there's any conflict there.

Sounds pretty representative of European youth generally, really.

I admit I don't know too much about the European scouts--much of my schadenfreude is taken from comparing this to the American Boy Scouts, what with their dislike of gays and atheists. It tickled me to see Scouts open to gay experiences and half of whom didn't believe in God.
Girl Scouts in the US allow lesbians and atheists. It's just the BSA that keep up the puritanical bullshit.
I dunno. I bet the BSA would allow lesbians.
