Williams Chief Scout Executive Subject: Scouting in Support of America Throughout the decades, the Boy Scouts of America has rallied to the support of our nation's military and their families. In countless conflicts, Scouts have stood shoulder to shoulder in support of the brave men and women who protect our nation. In this current conflict, I am proud to report that Scouts, volunteers, and families across the nation are carrying on that tradition by displaying flags and providing service to military families. I salute each and every one of them for their service. To show support for our country and our men and women in uniform, I am encouraging Scouts and leaders across America to tie red, white, and blue ribbons on trees in their neighborhoods. Our thoughts are with our fellow Americans fighting for peace in the Middle East, and we pray for their safe return. By the end of business today, you will find on the National Council Web site a link to a page that describes this effort. A press release will be posted on the BSA Intranet that you may use in your local media. To inform your Scouts, volunteers, and families, we encourage you to post this information on your Web site and utilize any e-mail lists to spread the word. http://www.scouting.org/media/rwb/index.html http://www.scouting.org/media/rwb/SiSoA.pdf Thank you for your support of this effort and your support of America.
