So funny enough, at my last two interviews, both of my interviewers were ex-Boy Scouts. It's a job I can talk a lot about and since I did it for four years, really affected the kind of worker I am.



I suppose that's one way it might go. Another is running into someone who is informed about the BSA's legal discrimination against atheists and gays. So some may see it and think of your character being "Christian bigot". Unlikely, I think. It may have no effect, but I think it's worth consideration.

I screen lots of resumes in hiring game programmers. Personally, it wouldn't bother me. Then again, it wouldn't help you either, because I need to know about your skills and experience. I'll figure out if you're an a-hole or a nice guy / team player on the phone, and finally in-person.
