Pack 360 Information

We are committed to Scouting and believe that Scouting is a valuable program for youth, with admirable benefits for the scout, his family, his local community, our nation and the world. We believe the Scout Oath and the Scout Law are excellent guiding principles for everyone. More importantly, we believe that the Scout Oath and the Scout Law are entirely incompatible with the practice of excluding any individual based solely upon innate personal characteristics, and that to do so violates the fundamental spirit and principles expressed or implied in the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. We believe that Scout leaders have a solemn responsibility to help youth develop clear ethical values and to live those values in order to be an example of friendliness, tolerance, inclusiveness and respect for diversity. Conversely, we strongly believe that modeling discrimination against others on the basis of their personal characteristics is fundamentally incompatible with the basic and traditional values and principles of Scouting, and poisonous to all involved in scouts. Discrimination, in any form, goes against the values our movement teaches us and has no place in Scouting’s future. We cannot in good conscience insist our scouts respect the beliefs of others, with it not applying to everyone. We cannot instill the sacred vow of Loyalty if that loyalty can be revoked upon a scouts 18th birthday. We believe strongly in the Scout oath and the Scout law and we will do our best to instill and uphold it!
