An 11-year-old boy has been banned from joining the Scouts because he doesn't believe in God, despite his Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist peers being offered an alternative oath to swear.
Schoolboy George Pratt had attended his local Scout group for ten months, and was expecting to invest in the group along with his friends.
But, after being required to swear the traditional promise, he found himself unable to join as he does not believe in God.
George, 11, said he was "very disappointed" in the decision, calling it "very unfair" and claiming he feels left out from experiences and trips his friends are attending. Full story...
