The Rev. Stephanie Seigh says she decided to invite troops to meet at One World Spiritual Center in Marietta after the nearby Roswell Street Baptist Church announced that it would end its nearly 70-year affiliation with Boy Scout Troop 204.
Seigh says her church's marquee now includes the message "Boy Scout troops welcome here."
Other congregations are using their websites to extend an invitation to Scouts who might be asked to leave churches in their areas.
In Grand Rapids, Mich., St. John's United Church of Christ is including this message on its website: "We Welcome ALL Boy Scouts."
"We don't know of any congregations in our local area who have closed their doors to troops they were hosting, but we wanted to be proactive and let Scouts in the area know that if that should be their experience, that they have a place to go," said the Rev. Bill Lyons of St. John's.
Well over 95 percent of the Scouts' charter partners -- churches and other civic groups -- are staying with the program, said Jeff Fulcher, a spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America's Atlanta Area Council, which covers 13 metro Atlanta counties.
