Everyone’s invited to join this Scout troop

Brooklyn’s Todd Schweikert has created an all-inclusive Scout troop. His 7-year old son is a charter member of the 5th Brooklyn Scouts, which accepts boys, girls and all sexual orientations. Schweikert was a Scout and Eagle Scout who wanted to pass on the “positive experiences” to his son.

The troop is associated with the Baden-Powell Service Association, a more progressive organization that teaches community service and similar skills as the Boy Scouts.
