The stated mission of the Boy Scouts, now known as Scouting America, is to "prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law."
But what happens when an organization founded on those principles is accused of turning its back on an entire group of people, leading to a legal battle for change?
The new book, “Morally Straight: How the Fight for LGBTQ+ Inclusion Changed the Boy Scouts” by journalist Mike De Socio explores that history. And it features a story that drew national headlines here in Colorado.
Mike will be at the Boulder Bookstore on Wednesday, July 31.
