Boy Scouts of America's policy regarding the participation of Scouts in political rallies and other political events.
It has long been the BSA's position and interpretation of its rules that uniformed unit members and leaders may participate in flag ceremonies at events and may lead the Pledge of Allegiance; however, they should retire after the ceremony and not remain on the speakers' platform, participate in the event, or remain in a conspicuous location where viewers could construe their presence as an endorsement or symbol of support. In addition, photos or video with Scouts in uniform or BSA marks and logos are not allowed in campaign materials of any kind. The purpose of this is to ensure that there is not a perception that the BSA, the council, or even the uniformed members favor one candidate (or platform) over another.
