Nine in 10 Scouts favour sex before marriage

Scouts and Girl Guides are open to pre-marital sex, drugs and gay experiences, according to a new survey.

More than 2,500 Scouts from across Europe, aged between 16 and 22, were questioned by researchers as they attended a convention in Italy.

The results might have surprised Lord Baden-Powell, who founded the Scouting and Guiding movement more than a century ago.

One quarter of the girls and 12 per cent of the boys said they would consider a same-sex experience. Some Scout associations around the world bar homosexuals from their ranks although this is not the case in Britain.

More than 80 per cent of those questioned said they were happy to get drunk and almost half said they would smoke marijuana if offered.

Nine out of 10 Scouts and Guides said they expected to have sex before they got married, and almost half said they would be happy to commit adultery.

"There was an open-mindedness about breaking the rules that is common among young people," said a spokesman for the Institute of the Innocents, a government-backed body which conducts research into children and families, and which compiled the results.

Around half the Scouts and Guides who took part were Italian, but British Scouts also responded.

The questionnaires were distributed in five languages at Roverway 2006, a jamboree in Tuscany.
