## Transcript

I got my Eagle Scout in 2021. So I've been an eagle scout for three years. Now. I've had a lot of trouble in the past explaining to people that I'm not exactly part of the Girl Scouts program 5 part of Scouts BSA Scout in America sounds a lot more inclusive of all of the other people that are in scouting to everyone in America that they can come to this program. They can bring their authentic self. They can be who they are I and they can they will be welcome to hear the argument that I make with a people will always like Boy Scouts of America BSA. Why do we have to change your membership is it has to work clothes right part of my job is to reduce all the barriers.

I possibly can for people to accept us as an organization and to join Different challenges that we were facing it wasn't just other Scouts that were trying to put us down. But also some adults who were still not open to it. And so have a nationally recognized that girls are being welcomed and included in scouting allows it to be a more safe space just in general, but I think it's also important that Scouts everywhere feel like the national scouting Community is accepting them.
