Scouting for All's 5th Annual National Recognition of Gay and Atheist Scout and All Gay and
Atheist Youth Month - October 2004
We are asking Scouting for All supporters (members, volunteers, Scouting for All Alliance for Human rights members)
nationally and internationally to join us in recognizing gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth
and atheist youth.
We are also asking members of PFLAG, GLSEN, and other GLBT youth organizations including religious groups, as
well as atheist and non-theist organizations and individuals to sign up as event organizers.
Scouting for All is asking that you sign up to either do a fundraiser event and or a rally. The fundraiser could
be used to raise funds for your local GLBT youth group such as a GSA Gay Straight Alliance Club or atheist organization.
You could also hold a rally in front of your local Boy Scouts of America Council or a local business or United
Way that is still donating money to the Boy Scouts of America. Make sure you draw media attention to the event
to help give a voice to the issue of the BSA discriminating against gay and atheist youth and adults.
For details and to sign up as an event organizer, just go to the Scouting for All web page www.scoutingforall.org
or just click http://www.scoutingforall.org/annualrally.html and this menu will take you directly to the sign-up site.
All we are asking for, is a little of your time to reach out to gay youth and atheist youth with a special inclusive
message. We can all talk about how we are supportive of human rights, but talk without action does little to effect
healing social change. Lets step forth and be counted.
Sincerely,
Scott Cozza, President
Scouting for All
