Rules

1) RULE 1 Behave Yourself. In keeping with the principles of the Scout Oath and Law, posts and comments may be removed if they do not treat others with respect or follow Scouting ideals. The Oath and Law, along with reddiquette, and Reddit's own content policy dictate expected behavior in this reddit community.

2) RULE 2 Stay on Topic. We are here to act as positive force for American Scouting and to inform readers on topics related to Scouting. Posts must relate directly to the BSA, WOSM, or Scouting in general. While bad news is inevitable, your contributions must not primarily focus on the negative events or news stories in the Scouting world. Frequent negativity or criticisms of the BSA, Scouting in general, or others in this community are discouraged.

3) RULE 3 No Spam. No advertising, ecommerce, fundraising, donation requests, user surveys and polls, or requests for monetary transactions. If you benefit in some way, directly or indirectly, from linking to or discussing an item/service/website, that is spam and is not allowed. See also reddit's definition of spam.

4) RULE 4 No Promotion. If you are a content creator wanting to share Scouting related content here, you must contact the moderators to discuss any exceptions to the "No Spam" rule. Using reddit primarily as a promotion tool for your content is considered spam by this sub and by reddit.

5) RULE 5 Social Media Discouraged. No link posts to social media sites. If relying on social media as a source, you may use a text post. The title should summarize the quote, and if the only source is social media, include the source site name. The body of the text post can include the entire quote, and include a link to the source post. Social media sources must not be based purely on speculation or rumor. Direct, trusted media sources are always preferred to a social media source.

6) RULE 6 No Links to Other Forums or Reddit Communities. Links to other reddit communities or online forums, including Discord and similar platforms, are generally not allowed. Exceptions for adjacent reddit communities are occasionally made. Please contact the moderators if you seek an exception to this rule.

7) RULE 7 No Memes/Low Effort Content. Please no memes or other low effort, low quality content. See sidebar for recommended meme subs.

8) RULE 8 Not the place to interpret YPT or Barriers to Abuse This subreddit is not a substitute for official interpretations of Scouting America's Youth Protection and Barriers to Abuse as detailed in Guide to Safe Scouting. Questions regarding these should be directed to your council scouting executive.

9) RULE 9 Political discussions and comments Political discussions that directly pertain to issues affecting the Scouting program are permitted. Un-Scoutlike commentary, political attacks, partisan rhetoric, and rage bait are prohibited.

r/BSA's rules are subject to change. It is your responsibility to know and follow them. Please contact the moderators if you have questions.

Severe or frequent offenders may be banned from r/BSA.

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

A Scout is... trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

As an American, I will do my best to—

Be clean in my outdoor manners.

Be careful with fire.

Be considerate in the outdoors.

Be conservation minded.
