Policy Regarding Scout Participation in Political Events:

With 2008 being an election year, we feel that it is appropriate to remind everyone of the Boy Scouts of America's Policy regarding participation of Scouts in political events:

  • Uniformed Scouts (Youth and Leaders) may participate in flag ceremonies at political events, however, they should retire after the ceremony and not remain in a conspicuous location where cameras could interpret their participation as an endorsement for a particular candidate over another.
     

  • Photos of candidates and Scouts in uniform or BSA insignia of any type are not allowed in political campaign materials.
     

  • Strict observance of these policies are mandatory.  Please be alert to any situation that might arise, which would involve the possibility of uniformed Scouts being used to endorse or support a particular political candidate.
     

  • If you have any questions, please contact the Council Service Center at 205-554-1680.
