On May 24, Rex Tillerson, past president of the Boy Scouts of America, spoke to attendees of the National Annual Meeting. His message about Scouting, change, and the future of the BSA was powerful. Click here for a video to see and hear his remarks.

Dear Scouting Family and Friends,

For 103 years, the Boy Scouts of America, the nation’s foremost youth program, has been providing its youth program of character development and values-based leadership training to the youth of our communities.

As many of you know, the BSA spent most of the first part of this year conducting a thorough review of BSA’s Membership Standards, educating the leaders and parents, and surveying various constituencies. That review confirmed that this issue remains among the most complex and challenging issues facing the BSA and society today. There was an outpouring of feedback from the American public; and the same was true throughout our council. It reinforces how deeply people care about Scouting and how passionate they are about the organization.

While perspectives and opinions vary significantly; we understand through the Voice of the Scout survey that parents, adults in the Scouting community, and teens alike tend to agree that youth should not be denied the benefits of Scouting.

The resolution that was adopted will remove the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone effective January 1, 2014. Adult membership requirements however, remain unchanged.

America and our communities need Scouting, and our policies must be based on what is in the best interest of our children. We believe good people can disagree on a variety of topics and yet still work together to accomplish great things for youth. Going forward, we will work to stay focused on our mission of instilling in young people the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Please consider the positive impact Scouting has had on you and your family. Your continued support and involvement is needed as we prepare to implement these changes throughout the organization.

Very Truly Yours in Scouting,

Scott Freshwater, Council President
Howard Dewald, Council Commissioner
Ernie Miller, National Council Representative
Dale Musgrave, Scout Executive
