Thanks for your encouraging post, Danny. You have had an exciting adventure. The saying here about something that passes a test is "good as gold" Like you, I found that Jesus is better than gold. I can't imagine life without Him now. It is so good to be loved, in the Lord and out.
Jerry, I was a Brown Owl years ago in Canada. There was nothing new agey at that time in the teaching. However, I don't think elves and fairies are suitable for Christian girls now anyway.
I have heard same as you but as far as boys go it seems to be a mission to keep the groups free from male predators.
