Roy L. Williams, the Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, has asked Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, and
volunteer leaders across America to tie red, white, and blue ribbons on trees in their neighborhoods. "Our thoughts are with our
fellow Americans fighting for peace in the Middle East, and we pray for their safe return," Williams says.
Throughout the decades, the Boy Scouts of America has rallied to the support of our nation's military and their families. In countless
conflicts, Scouts have stood shoulder to shoulder in supporting the brave men and women who protect our nation. In this current
conflict, Scouts, volunteers, and families will carry on this great tradition.
We encourage all citizens to show their support of America by joining us in tying red, white, and blue ribbons on trees in neighborhoods across the country. If you know someone in the armed services, you may honor him or her by writing their name on the ribbons.
