Boy Scouts in Philadelphia Threatened by Left

Friends,

We need your help promoting www.savethephillyscouts.org.

You may be aware that the Philadelphia City Council recently told the Boy Scouts to leave their local headquarters building in the city unless they can pay market rent or change their membership policies. Even though the Scouts built the building 80 years ago and kept it up on city property deeded to them for $1 per year “in perpetuity,” the Scouts will probably be moving out of their building on May 31.

The Pennsylvania primary election is on April 22. We’re asking Americans who support the Boy Scouts to sign a petition to the Pennsylvania media, calling on them to ask the candidates at local, state, and federal levels about the Boy Scouts. From city councils to Congress and the presidency, our politicians can either affirm the Boy Scouts or they can side with the ACLU and other groups that are attacking the Scouts.

The ACLU tried to stop a military base from holding the Boy Scout Jamboree. The ACLU has worked to get Boy Scouts out of our schools and public parks. And one presidential candidate said that if elected he would renounce the title of Boy Scouts honorary president.

We need to make the attacks on Scouting an issue in this election.

Please go to www.savethephillyscouts.org and sign your name on our petition to Save the Philly Scouts. Then place a link to www.savethephillyscouts.org on your website, and forward this on to your friends.

Thank you -

Hans Zeiger
