Updated Adult Membership Standard 7/13/2015



July 13, 2015

Gulf Coast Council Members, Parents and Supporters,


The National Key 3 and others consulted with religious organizations following the National Annual Meeting in May on the subject of adult leadership standards.  Scout leaders from across the country urged national leadership to swiftly act on this matter in order to lessen possible impact on Fall recruitment.

As a result, the National Executive Committee met on Friday, July 10 to review a resolution amending the adult leadership standards policy.  This resolution was unanimously adopted by those present and voting.  Today,  National BSA President Robert Gates is sharing this resolution with the National Executive Board and asking them to ratify this resolution on Monday, July 27.

As promised, I am sharing this information with you and will continue to do so as I receive new updates.

I have attached the proposed resolution and some back ground info that explains why BSA is considering this change in Leadership standards.

I will be glad to discuss or clarify any of this information with you to the best of my ability.  Feel free to contact me either by email or phone.  I can be reached at 850-476-6336 or email sppage@bsamail.org

On behalf of the scouts of the Gulf Coast Council, thank you for your interest and support of Scouting.

Yours in Scouting,

Spencer Page
Scout Executive
