The three points of the Scout emblem, like the three fingers raised

Duty to others
Duty to selfThe two stars on the emblem have "meaning" representing Truth and Knoledge

The BSA is committed to maintaining its rights under the Constitution of the United States. Special interest groups have, over the years, challenged the very core spirit of this organization. Atheists, homosexuals, and others have asserted that the BSA will not allow them to come in and change their standards - and they are right! These special interest groups, the very ones that claim to want involvement in Scouting, are intent on destroying the BSA. They have sought - and continue to seek - to use the BSA as a platform for their own sociopolitical agenda.
The Scout Oath and Law are not up for negotiation. Their values are not for sale. Praise the Lord.
