Information booth at San Diego's Gay Pride in Balboa Park
July 30 (Saturday) & July 31, (Sunday) 2005.

We had a very successful information booth at San Diego Gay Pride 2005. Perfect weather framed this festival celebrating diversity in San Diego.

Most people had heard that the Boy Scouts of America is a discriminatory organization (approved by the good seal of the US Supreme Court).

Many people thanked us for a job well done by taking the Boy Scouts of America to task as they don't even follow their own Scout Oath or Scout Laws. People also wondered if the Boy Scouts were reaping their dues by the mishaps recently taken place throughout the U.S.

People from all parts of the United States signed our petitions which will be forwarded to the Boy Scout headquarters in Irving, Texas. We are petitioning that the Boys Scouts of America end their discriminatory policies against gay and atheist youth/adults. We know that we have a long road ahead of us and we will continue to forge ahead knowing that some day we can bring hatred and discrimination to an end within the organization of the Boy Scouts of America.

President Bush has a youth slogan, "No child left behind." Every U.S. President is the honorary President of the Boy Scouts of America. Scouting For All asks the President not to be associated with an organization that DOES leave children behind: The Boy Scouts of America.

More and more people come to our booth thanking us for a job well done each year as the word continues to get out.

--Special thanks to all of you who helped staff our information booth. Thank you Brenda, Autumn, Ron, Linda, Howard, Mick, Mike, Rochelle, Tami, Elizabeth, Jennifer, Dean, Richard, Peter, and John for all your help. We really appreciate it.
