Scouting for All Believes in Scouting NOT Discrimination
Scouting for All is not against the Boy Scouts of America. In fact our organization was founded by an Eagle Scout and our team is made up mostly of Eagle Scouts and prior BSA members. Scouting for All opposes a policy that is harmful to youth, discriminatory, and bigoted, which BSA National in Irving, Texas imposes on all of its members. The BSA National leadership has corrupted both the Scout Oath and Law. We are just trying to change that. Lord Baden Powell the founder of the world scouting movement in 1907, intended scouting to be for all youth not just some youth. In fact where scouting was founded, in England, Girls, Atheists / Freethinkers, and Gays are accepted into the program. If you also believe in Scouting you'll not sit back and ignore the discrimination of the BSA, but step forth and speak out. Support Scouting for All for healing change within the Boy Scouts of America.
