Are illegal immigrants allowed to join the boy scouts?

Question

tripledigit, of course they can be that young. Some illegals can barely walk when they come here.

Answer 1

That is a good question. Wonder if they will have a merit badge for climbing fences for them.

Answer 2

You know, I'm not sure. I thought 'of course', but there is a place on the application for a social security number. [WRONG - SEE BELOW]

They have Scouts in other countries, so what would be the point of stopping them from being a Scout here?

I can tell you one thing, though. They would have to be respectful of our flag. It is a definite requirement for Scouting.

EDIT

I was wrong, there isn't a place for a SS#, so yes, they can. According to the application for Cub Scouts, " Membership in Scouting, advancement, and achievement of leadership in Scouting units are open to all youths without regard to race or ethnic background and are based entirely upon individual merit."

Answer 3

Yeah, boy scouts don't police illegal children lol

Answer 4

Why not, they could get badges and awards for their skills crossing the border and eluding federal officers.....by the way illegals are that young? totally irresponsible parents?

Answer 5

Oh yeah, they are good at tunneling and building fires. Just what we need to allow, another segment of our society eroded away by these tacos!

Answer 6

Of course, they are allowed to everything and anything they want, plus they dont have to follow the rules. and they think they have it bad.

Answer 7

i think so. no birth certificate or green card necissary. (i was a boy scout for a few years)

Answer 8

I don't think they should because they are illegally in the U.S.A.
