I've been writing this newsletter for more than a few years now—and over that time, I've tackled many of your most pressing questions about LGBTQ+ inclusion in Scouting.

  • Why it matters: The archive of this newsletter is packed with wisdom from Scouters who've faced the same challenges you might be facing right now.

So, inspired by last week's guide to LGBTQ+ pride and the Scout uniform, here are some of the most popular guides I've created, just for you.
