Regarding Politics

Is there a regulation or guide BSA follows regarding politics in scout activities? There is a scout activity in my troop where material may soon depict a politician in a good, or bad, light depending on how you look at it will be shown. I’ve recommended the image be changed without being specific other than keeping politics out of scouting activities, but now the parents are asking for a regulation that governs the topic.

Any help would be appreciated.

@MarkAndrzejak Please direct policy questions to your local district / council.

What about scouting general? I can’t imagine the policy is different depending on my location.

The BSA has asked that policy questions be directed to your local district / council.
