Yeah, they're all about mission... recruitment. Not about Mitt.
I find a lot of parallels between Mitt and JFK... people would chatter about how "He would have to obey the pope" as President, etc, being the first Catholic president. No.. I don't remember that. I was too little, but my parents explained it to me later, and I've talked to people who were in politics at the time.
The same lack o facts were applied to Catholicism. Remember.."Papists" ? Not to mention my 'damn Irish immigrant' ancestors ?
Lots of Mormons where I am.. the area is the site of the first temple in Ohio, and was on the migration path towards Utah.
Yes, they are involved in Scouting. Positively. However, there are more Catholics in the area, so they're outnumbered. No, they don't forbid Sunday activity. Grace, I understand you've had issues. I'll diffidently point out that the NATIONAL council could and should have responded to any complaints about religious persecution in Scouting brought forward to them. Did you ? Scouting treats religions as inclusive, not exclusionary.
