Join the call upon the Chief Scout, Bear Grylls, to tell the Scouting Association he leads, not to expel volunteers who campaign against Zionist support for Israel.

The Scout Association has expelled me, treasurer of the 150th Craigalmond Scout Group, for being affiliated to the Campaign Against Bogus Antisemitism (CABA). 

I hold the Chief Scout’s award from Bear Grylls and am shocked and upset at my treatment. The Scouts appear to be working to the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism which equates criticism of Israel to antisemitism. But Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss of Neturei Karta writes in my support saying "Pete is in no way anti-Jewish".

In the 10 years I've been a volunteer, I have never mentioned my politics. However, following a Zionist complaint, I was suspended- and after one year, with no right to respond, expelled. 

Please call upon the Chief Scout to reinstate me and stop the Scouts from witch-hunting anti-racist campaigners for Palestine. Sign the petition  to Bear at:
