Stosh 3452 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 So, the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 proclaimed: "BE IT ENACTED by the Senate and house of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all non citizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States: Provided That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property. (Approved June 2, 1924)" Up until 1924, Native Americans could not gain citizenship unless they married a US citizen or served in the US military, otherwise they were barred from the naturalization process afforded everyone else and they were not considered US citizens even if they were born off reservation in US territory.

SSScout 1616 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 A Scout is asked to recite a promise, and be true to it's implications. We ask Scouts to base their lives and actions on a list of adjectives. How best to show him (or her) the benefit of doing so? How best to encourage the avoidance of hypocracy?
