Outdoor Service Guides is an inclusive, all-gender, outdoors & service-focused back-to-basics scouting organization for youth and adults. #WFIS For more information, please visit https://outdoorserviceguides.org/
Outdoor Service Guides has always welcomed genders anywhere along the spectrum. All our groups at every age level are co-ed because separation, within or between any organizations, isn't equal.
On International Women's Day (and every day) we celebrate the women and girls worldwide. As we celebrate, we are mindful of the inequalities and injustices that remain and the persistence of women and their allies in fighting them.

On Thinking Day or Founder's Day, scouts celebrate the birthday of our founders Robert Baded Powell, his sister Agnes, and Robert's wife Olive. Thinking Day is a day to reflect on our kinship with other scouts and guides and how we can be of service to others. #everybodyscouts
Outdoor Serbive Guides is the WFIS organization in the United States with chartered groups nationwide and a Lone Scout program. www.outdoorserviceguides.org
Look at World Federation of Independent Scouts or Pathfinders. WFIS is Baden-Powell pilled like normal Scouts, Pathfinders is just outdoorsy stuff with a Scouts-flavouring.

At OSG, we believe that scouting is for everyone — regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or identity — because every scout deserves a place to grow, lead, and thrive. (2/2)

Outdoor Service Guides is an alternative scouting program based primarily on the idea that scouting is for everybody, working to build strong, compassionate leaders who understand the importance of unity, respect, and shared responsibility.
Today, we honor Juneteenth—a day of liberation, remembrance, and resilience marking when freedom reached the last enslaved Black Americans. While we celebrate, we also recognize the incomplete, ongoing fight for equity and justice. 1/2

Today we remember and honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for his leadership in the civil rights movement.
It is also Inauguration Day for a deeply divided country, and some are celebrating while others are feeling anxious . . .

Here’s a suggested activity for today: What stolen ancestral lands do you live on? Enter your zip code and see. Learn what you can about these nations. And celebrate the contributions of Native Americans any other day of November, Native American Heritage Month (or really any day of the year). 8/9
"Our voices unheard. When a national civil holiday occurs that hardly anyone knows about...I begin to wonder.” (“Native American Heritage Day”) 7/9
"Not a word or mention in the mainstream media about Native American Heritage Day, just videos of adults fist fighting at 4:00 in the morning in stores over the last trendy toy in stock for this year's season of giving. Are we, Native Americans, the Forgotten America? . . . 6/9
"It is a day when the American consumer plots out the best bargains at the best retailers at the best times to contribute to the American GDP . . . 5/9
"The day after Thanksgiving is one of the most irrelevant days of the year. Most people are off work, families travel, and there is very little in the news cycle. What is the day after Thanksgiving known as in America? Black Friday—not Native American Heritage Day . . . 4/9
"With November being Native American Heritage Month, there are 28 other days to select from with of course Thanksgiving having its long established day to itself. Why must we take a backseat to Thanksgiving? Why not the day before Thanksgiving? . . . 3/9
Brian Perry, a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma, explains: "As a Native American, I feel slighted. The day after Thanksgiving? Almost an afterthought . . . 2/9
Today is #NativeAmericanHeritageDay.
In 2009, President Barack Obama signed a bill designating the Friday after Thanksgiving as “Native American Heritage Day.”
But the bill was only formally supported by 184 out of 567 federally recognized tribes. 1/9
