I am fully informed, having read the entire Declaration and all the rest of the list of requirements. Further, I don't see where you have "corrected" me. I never said that the Principle insists on Christianity. I also don't see how an "athiest", friendly or not, can be a merit badge counselor, unless he agrees that he can not grow into the "best kind of citizen," or that somehow he can remain an atheist, yet recognize his "duty to God" nevertheless.
Your sources do not seem to support your claim. To quote your last link:
To register with the Boy Scouts of America, a potential merit badge counselor must complete the BSA's Adult Application form
To quote from that form, as linked from the same page:
Excerpt From Declaration of Religious Principle
The Boy Scouts of America maintains that no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without
recognizing an obligation to God and, therefore, recognizes the religious element in the training of the
member, but it is absolutely nonsectarian in its attitude toward that religious training. Its policy is that
the home and organization or group with which the member is connected shall give definite attention
to religious life. Only persons willing to subscribe to these precepts from the Declaration of Religious
Principle and to the Bylaws of the Boy Scouts of America shall be entitled to register
and the applicant explicitly signs that I have read and affirm that I accept the Declaration of Religious Principle
