I am in Boy Scouts of America.  I thought it strange that there aren't many refrences to any type of language.  There isn't much about language learning anywhere!  This makes finding esperanto all the more harder, because only international groups exist, and official boy scout pages make now refrences to them.

Why?!?

I'm new to Esperanto and an Eagle Scout.  Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the scouting movement, promoted Esperanto as a 'secret language' for Scouts.  In the Boy Scout manual, Esperanto is the example sited for the Translator award.  Scouting's world-wide reach and the brotherhood of its members across cultures made this a logical connection.  The Skolto Esperanto Ligo has existed since 1918; web site is http://www.nrg.to/sel/

boy-o, your comments are are divisive as they are incorrect.

-English is not the "official" language of the USA.

-The BSA, while a patriotic organization, promotes peace, civic duty, and cultural awareness.

-Interpreter strips can be earned by scouts to display to others which languages are spoken by that scout.  Helpful during jamborees.  This program is actively encouraged by BSA.

To make assumptions about what you think, but don't know about the BSA, and draw a conclusion about what they do and don't do is fairly ignorant.  If you don't know something, better to remain silent than to pass your guesses off as helpful answers.

Esperanto is supposed to be a language to promote peace.  To give people a politically neutral way to share ideas.  Doesn't help when those in its own community essentially accuse others of xenophobia based only on assumptions.
