Scouting for All National Advisory Board
Mission Statement
The National Advisory Board of Scouting for All is an ensemble of American professionals who, through their commitment
to equality at this beginning of the twenty-first century share the goal to eliminate an injustice in America perpetrated
against children.
In acknowledgment and celebration of the diversity of our humanity, we work to enable and insure that all gay and
nontheist youth, and adults, may be allowed to join and enjoy a harassment-free and equal membership in the Boy
Scouts of America without regard to sexual orientation or religious belief.
As approved by the Scouting for All Board February 7, 2004
