Call For Speakers for Our Washington, DC Press Conference
Scouting for All is asking for your support. See below.
Steven Cozza, Eagle Scout, inspiration for the Scouting for All movement, will be leading a contingent of Scouting
for All supporters to Washington D. C. to ask President Bush to step down as the Honorary President of the Boy
Scouts of America. Steven says, "If President Bush truly believes "no child left behind" then he
should not represent or endorse in anyway an organization that leaves gay and atheist youth behind by excluding
them, the Boy Scouts of America."
