Scouting For All official patch Mission Statement 

As members of the Alliance for Human Rights, we are dedicated to equality and openness among people. We believe the Boy Scouts of America's (BSA) policy of discrimination is a human rights violation because it discriminates against individuals because of one's sexual orientation and religious beliefs.  
 
We will advocate on behalf of its members and supporters for the restoration of the traditionally unbiased values of Scouting as expressed and embodied in the Scout Oath and the Scout Law, and to influence the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to serve and include as participating members all youth and adult leaders, regardless of their spiritual belief, gender, or sexual orientation.


The BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA (BSA) are coming to San Diego on Wednesday and Thursday, May 21st and 22nd, 2008 for their annual conference. The conference will be held at the Manchester Grand Hyatt at 1 Market Place, San Diego. Scouting for All is coming to town to picket and protest the BSA. For more information on scheduled events, visit the News/Events page.


Discrimination or Inclusion?

All other Americans can become members of the Boy Scouts of America providing they subscribe to their beliefs. Former President Bill Clinton, in 1996, said, "To discriminate against an American is un-American." Scouting For All asks, "Would we as a society tolerate the BSA discriminating against people of color?

What if the Boy Scouts of America said, African American youth and adults were not allowed in Scouting? How would the American people respond?
Scouting For All asks, "Would we as a society tolerate the Boy Scouts of America discriminating against Mormons or Catholics or any religion because of their religious beliefs?"

Diversity RocksThe answer is that those who believe in social justice for all would not tolerate any form of discrimination against any segment of our society.
 

When gay youth and adults, and atheists are discriminated against we as Alliance members are offended and feel violated against this injustice.

The vision of the World Organization Of The Scout Movement is that scouting was created as an outdoor program to include any child, youth, or adult seeking membership.
We stand together to seek healing change within the Boy Scouts of America, a program which currently has lost the vision of the World Organization Of The Scout Movement.

Message From Scouting For All - National

"We will no longer tolerate our gay youth having to remain invisible out of fear. We are working to help create a society where gay (GLBT) and atheist youth will feel safe, accepted, and loved for the beautiful individuals they are blessed to be." --Scouting For All Board of Directors, Members, and Volunteers

"Institutionalized homophobia in the Scouts or in church or school is the cruelest of all.
It makes life miserable for young gay people and it misleads their peers with regard to the truth about gay people—that we are remarkably similar to the rest." –Ian McKellen, Actor (Gandalf in Lord of the Rings and Magneto in X-Men), quoted with permission.
