A resolution to the National Council

Posted on May 29th, 2007 in BSA Info by Roy

I submitted the following resolution regarding Supply Division actions and certain long-time supporters of Scouting – American labor organizations. Increasingly Supply Division is sourcing from overseas. It would be a tragedy for a Scouting emblem that represents American labor to have a ‘Made in Taiwan’ sticker on the back.

I have since had some contact with our Central Region Executive Brad Farmer and he has made contacts with Supply Division. I have since rescinded my resolution as it appears that it will not be necessary but, just in case, I am posting the contents here as well. Time will tell. Clearly I have tried to let BSA leadership know that their staff could do something really stupid.

Here was my resolution:

RESOLUTION for consideration at the 2007 BSA National Meeting

Whereas American labor organizations and their members are long time supporters of the Scouting movement through their giving of their time, treasure and talent; and,

Whereas BSA Supply Division increasingly is sourcing from overseas manufacturers; and,

Whereas it would be a potential public relations disaster if American labor related items in Scouting were produced overseas;

Now therefore be it resolved that the Boy Scouts of America acquire labor related and national identification insignia and awards such as the American Labor merit badge, George Meany Award, Whitney Young Award, US Flag badges and other such items, from USA headquartered companies using USA employees.

Respectifully submitted by
Roy A. More
Past President Great Sauk Trail Council #255
