The Boy Scouts of America is funded in a variety of ways. The Scouts themselves are encouraged to work and earn money to cover their own expenses. They also contribute dues to local Scouting organizations. The community also pitches in to support the Scouts. Hundreds of businesses and local leaders participate in various fund drives to support the Boy Scouts throughout northern Colorado.
Participation rates continue to grow.
Though the Supreme Court ruled earlier this year in favor of the protective Scout policy, a pernicious national campaign is now underway to discourage corporate giving to the Scouts. The campaign's objective is to pressure the Boy Scouts of America to abandon its policy and begin acquainting participating boys with homosexual Scout leaders. The Boy Scouts of America is a good, honorable and decent organization. It has played a remarkable role in defining and developing America's national character. At a time when society seems less and less inclined to hold individuals responsible for their actions, it is encouraging to know the Boy Scouts organization is there to continue promoting moral fortitude and personal responsibility.
