| National Recognition of Gay and Atheist Scouts and All Gay and Atheist Youth Month announced | |
| Scouting for All seeks rally and event organizers sought
We are asking Scouting for All supporters (members, volunteers, Scouting for All Alliance for Human rights members) nationally and internationally to join us in recognizing Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender youth and atheist youth. We are also asking members of PFLAG, GLSEN, and other GLBT youth organizations including religious groups, as well as atheist and non-theist organizations and individuals to sign up as event organizers. Scouting for All is asking that you sign up to either do a fundraiser event and or a rally. The fundraiser could be used to raise funds for your local GLBT youth group such as a GSA Gay Straight Alliance Club or atheist organization. You could also hold a rally in front of your local Boy Scouts of America Council or a local business or United Way that is still donating money to the Boy Scouts of America. Make sure you draw media attention to the event to help give a voice to the issue of the BSA discriminating against Gay and atheist youth and adults. If you can't do a fund-raiser and or organize a protest, then consider our Global Essay Contest. This year we've added our Global Essay Contest for ages 12 through 18. You can sign up online as an event organizer and organize the Essay Contest in your area by being a distributor of the Essay Contest flyer to your local schools, GLBT youth groups and GSA: Gay Straight Alliance Clubs in your community. For details and to sign up as an event organizer, just go to the Scouting for All web page www.scoutingforall.org or just click http://www.scoutingforall.org/annualrally.shtml and this menu will take you directly to the sign-up site.
