The Boy Scouts of America maintains scouting partnerships with Islamic groups closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, WND has learned.
The Boy Scouts of America welcomes major religions, including Islam. It has incorporated under its banner a group called the National Islamic Committee on Scouting, or NICS, which provides Muslim scouts an opportunity to earn badges or emblems by participating in religious activities.
The NICS scouting emblems include an “Allahu Akbar” emblem, which means “Allah is greatest” in Arabic.
Formed in the 1920s after the demise of the Ottoman Islamic empire, the Muslim Brotherhood is the parent of most of the major jihadist groups in the world, including al-Qaida and Hamas. The prosecution of a terror-finance scheme in Texas presented evidence of the Brotherhood’s aim to destroy Western civilization and establish an Islamic society under the rule of the Quran.

Outhouse, you are about 25 years late on this outrage.
Wow... You mean WorldNutDaily has a beef with Muslims? Imagine the surprise in MY voice.... Only 25 years late on this one? Well, these things take time....
I'm a former Scout (rank of Life - with extensive participation in Maryland).
I'm unaware of anything in the scout oath or the scout law that would preclude a Muslim from participating in Scouting.
There's plenty of LDS churches who sponsor scout troops - so it would not surprise me to have a mosque or islamic center support one (many fundamentalist churches introduced their own versions of scouting, since they were outraged about scouts not upholding their particular orthodoxy).
On "allah akbar" - I'm aware of a few scouting troops in Saudi Arabia - which would have a Saudi flag somewhere in the emblem - which in turn, has the Takbir. I'm not aware of many other ways the Takbir might appear.
Our troop in Abu Dhabi met at the American Community School, and had no references to Allah. In fact, our Muslim friends joined members of the troop occasionally when they said the Lord's prayer......
