Can BSA Units participate in political rallies?by Bryan Wendell
Scouts should “Do Your Duty to Country” but not by endorsing any one political party or candidate.
Per BSA’s official policy on Scout participation in political rallies…•Scout units Are permitted to provide a color guard flag ceremony, in uniform, at political events.•BSA Policy requires our adult & youth member in uniform to leave immediately after the presentation of
colors & the Pledge of Allegiance.• Should they want to stay, Scouters must do so as individuals, that means they have to change
Out of their uniforms.•Scouts and Scouters can’t stand on the platform for the remainder of the speech or presentation
or in a conspicuous location where media could construe their presence as an endorsement of support. This is meant to prevent someone from using our brand to convey support of a candidate or ideology. And, this prevents Scouts from being used by any party in campaign advertisements or materials.
•Scouts and Scouters Can pose for photos with political candidates at events But photos of candidates or Scouts in uniform or BSA marks or logos are Not allowed in political campaign materials of any kind.
Be alert to situations that would imply that the BSA favors one candidate or party over another. Observance of BSA’s policy against active participation of uniformed Scouts & leaders in political
events is mandatory.
