ASM915 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 emb, Back in the teens, Dan Beard was working out of Massillon, Ohio. National asked how many Negro Scouts he had in his Massillon Area Council. His reply was he refused to answer that question, in his eyes they were all Scouts.

asichacker Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 My parents did not permit me to join BSA when I was young (late '60's) because the troop (rural Central Ohio) was run by the local KKK. I didn't know this until I was a late teen...when an African-American family moved to town and promptly received threats, etc. They left town at the end of the school year. I don't know if that is still the case, but that part of the state is far more integrated now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
