Please encourage the Boy Scouts of America to stop discriminating against atheists and the children of atheists.

Boy Scouts receive military enlistment incentives, and many participate in the Law Enforcement Explorer program. A disproportionate number of Boy Scouts seek out military and federal law enforcement careers. Of those who join the military, many eventually pursue civilian law enforcement careers. By refusing to allow specific categories of American children to participate in the Boy Scouts, BSA leadership inculcates prejudice, effectively indoctrinating Boy Scouts to view those categories of children deemed unsuitable for admission as a pariah class. As a result, those Boy Scouts who grow up to become law enforcement officers are likely to discriminate against atheists, in the line of duty, which is incompatible with the promotion of the general welfare.
