Baden-Powell Service Association, US

The BPSA is a Traditional Scouting Association for the US that is open to boys and girls, men and women, and focused on outdoor skills and community service. The BPSA believes that everyone deserves a chance to participate in the movement that Robert Baden-Powell started, and with that, we have crafted our policy of inclusion: BPSA offers a choice for those with curiosity, energy and independence of spirit. We are committed to providing an appropriate alternative and community-oriented Scouting experience. BPSA welcomes everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion (or no-religion) or other differentiating factors. Our mission is to provide a positive learning environment within the context of democratic participation and social justice. We foster the development of Scouts in an environment of mutual respect and cooperation.
