Mission: The Boy Scouts of America is the nation's foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training. In the future scouting will continue to:
Offer young people responsible fun and adventure;
Instill in young people lifetime values and develop in them ethical character as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law;
Train young people in citizenship, service and leadership;
Service America's communities and families with its quality, values-based programs
It is very sad to see them abandon their values. Not everyone is going to agree with your position in life about social issues, politics, etc. They sold their 103+ year standard to the highest bidder - in this case AT&T. Corporate funding is great, but it should never dictate your position, on any issue. Thanks but no thanks AT&T and the BSA - you have both lost my support as a client and volunteer / donor. Trail Life USA is where my service and money will be going. We honor the legacy that was the BSA but will now raise the standard.
