Pack 79 recognizes the benefits of scouting for all boys and their families.

We openly reject the national policy put forth by Boy Scouts of America barring gay boys from membership and gay or lesbian adults from serving as leaders.

We believe that scouting builds character and enforces important values including citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage, faith, health and fitness, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, resourcefulness, respect, responsibility, tolerance and acceptance.

As an organization, Pack 79 will provide membership to all boys and parents in the Marblehead community without regard to sexual orientation.
