"The Constitution and The Boy Scouts:
Equal Access to Government Land and the First Amendment”

On May 18, 2005, a panel of leading constitutional scholars organized by the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy participated in a program called "The Constitution and The Boy Scouts: Equal Access to Government Land and the First Amendment." The program was webcast live from San Diego, venue of important litigation between the ACLU and Boy Scouts of America. The panel discussed the Boy Scouts' access to government land following the Supreme Court of the United States' 2000 decision in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale focusing on the recent litigation involving leases of parkland in Balboa Park and Mission Bay Park by the City of San Diego to Boy Scouts. Nearly 150 guests were present for the event and several hundred logged into the live webcast. We excerpt highlights of the program below. Transcripts of each speakers remarks are posted by their thumbnail.
