Superstar Business Writer Lee Hendelman supports Ending the Boy Scout Gender Ban for Eagle Rank

Let’s help make history! Sydney Ireland is the 17 year old daughter of my colleague Gary Ireland, a great guy and dedicated Dad. Gary is asking for support (activism, not financial) to help finish Sydney’s 13 year long quest to become an Eagle Scout; the highest recognition in Scouting USA (Formerly “Boy Scouts of America”.)

Sydney has completed all of the requirements necessary to earn this honor, but the organization has been placing roadblocks in front of her because…Sydney is a girl! Here are some articles about her story:

To help, please consider:
1) Whether you know any celebrities, high profile people, and/or “feminist friends” ready to speak truth to power. This can include YOU! If so, let me know and I will connect you to Gary.

2) Signing Sydney’s online petition: https://www.change.org/p/the-boy-scouts-of-america-end-disc

3) Posting on her dedicated Facebook page “Scouting Let Me In” https://www.facebook.com/scoutherin/

This wonderful (and super-overdue) initiative has tremendous momentum behind it; we just want to finish the job! Help Scout Her In! Thanks!!
