I am an Eagle Scout who is writing a researched argument letter to Wayne Brock - Chief Scout Executive, Wayne Perry - National President, and the BSA National Executive Board about changing the strict, harsh, unfair policy on gay Scouts and Scout Leaders. I believe nobody should be denied equal opportunities to anything no matter their gender, racial background, sexual orientation, disabilities, or any other area of prejudice. The fact that the nation - the world's greatest youth development program segregates against any person or group of persons makes me sick. I will be writing my letter over the course of the month of April and into early May, 2013, and needs every willing signature to help support my cause. If you sign and share my petition, I would be extremely appreciative of each and everyone of you. Friends, family, your school, your work, your social media networks - allies are needed EVERYWHERE! Thank you for your support, Trevor M. Roberts Eagle Scout 2010 3 year Summer Camp Staff member "Zippy" Active Brotherhood member of the Nataepu Shohpe Lodge President Gerald R. Ford Council #781 Western & Northern MI, USA

The letters to the national leadership are taking shape as I refine the arguments regarding our core values of scouting. I find that the process of articulating these concerns is reflective of the very integrity we hope to see upheld within the organization.

Reaching this current level of support confirms that many others feel the same urgency to address these policies within the organization. Seeing this collective momentum build provides me with steady resolve as I prepare the final arguments for the executive board.

Lived by the oath and law my whole life. Inclusion is part of being a man of character. Fix this.

Ridiculous policy. My son is in scouts and this kind of stuff makes me embarrassed for the organization. Change the rules already.
