Unlocked: Inside the new Scouts BSA task force for DEI

“If we really want to benefit from the diverse thinking and life experiences of all of those amazing people, then it's incumbent upon us to pull up more chairs to the table and make sure that our Scouting spaces are really ready to engage with all of those people where they're at,” she told me.
