Community Service

[Auerbach]

 

To Troop 306 Scouts who are not camping this weekend,

 

Mr Bill Cummings has asked me to send this E-Mail reguarding an opportunity to perform a community service for the city of Debary, Saturday night. A campaign party for Clint Johnson, who is running for the mayor position in Debary, has asked Mr Cummings if he could supply some Scouts to help out directing cars to park. The address is 36 S. 17/92 in Debary and the time is from  5:15 to 9pm. Free food and refreshments will be provided. If you are not camping and can attend this activity, call Mr Cummings at 1-386-561-0168.

Troop 306:

 

Some information has come available about scouts participating in political events.  Please see the BSA policy for political events and scouting participation listed below.  If you would still like to help out, you would need to as a citizen of the community and not as a scout.

 

Question:

​What are the BSA policies regarding participation in political rallies or events?

Answer:

​ Boy Scouts of America policy prohibits Scouts from participating in political activities. BSA membership applications, under Program Policies, state: Citizenship activities are encouraged, but partisan political activities are prohibited.

Uniformed unit members and leaders may participate in flag ceremonies at political events and may lead the Pledge of Allegiance; however, they should retire after the ceremony and not remain on the speakers’ platform or in a conspicuous location where television viewers could construe their presence as an endorsement or symbol of support. In addition, photos of candidates or Scouts in uniform or BSA marks and logos are not allowed in political campaign materials of any kind. Leaders must be alert to situations that would imply that the BSA favors one candidate over another. Strict observance of our long-standing policy against the active participation of uniformed Scouts and leaders in political events is mandatory.

 

Thank you,

Madge Auerbach
