San Francisco Pride Parade 2016: Leather Alley and Little Scouts
Hello Scouts and thank you to everyone who came to help us plan our presence at Leather Alley during the 2016 San Francisco Pride Parade!
We were able to come up with a to-do list for our officers in preparation. We're going to have a lot to do as our booth has grown exponentially this year. That means that we need volunteers! Volunteers are needed to:
1. To raise funds for future events and to help cover the costs of our presence in Leather Alley itself.
2. To educate people about ageplay and help them to be involved with the local ageplay community and Little Scouts.
3. To demonstrate to Leather Alliance what we're capable of!
How are we going to accomplish these goals? In order to raise funds, we'll have several fun activities for people to do.
In order to educate people about ageplay and help them be involved with Little Scouts, we'll have materials to pass out.
This is where you come in! Please email your favorite ageplay links to thelittlescouts@gmail.com. In addition, we've decided to, as a group, make our own "Ask First" panties/diaper covers/whatever you wear on your butt. We just thought it was a cute, flirty idea. You don't have to do this in order to be involved, but it is a group project that you might want to participate in!
Lastly, we're going to be performing some demos. I (Penny) will be doing a diapering demo, Zoey will be doing a spanking demo, and Jesbian will be doing her cupcake demo. While we're not sure of the order yet, demos will be happening at noon, 1:30, and 3:00. A lot of people asked about demos last year, so if you're volunteering, please memorize these times!
As for showing Leather Alliance what we're capable of, just show up, be prepared, and be your friendly self! We suggest coming in uniform or at least ageplay attire. We're going to make an effort to wear boots in order to support the bootblacks. If you're able to volunteer, we'll need people from about 10:00 to 7:00 on Sunday, June 26. Please email us at thelittlescouts@gmail.com to let us know when you will be available.
Thanks!

Little Scouts at International Miss Leather
The Little Scouts has been generously offered use of a hospitality suite at IMsL/IMsBB Weekend 2016 in order to offer information about Little Scouts to those who are interested in joining, or for those who just want to see what we are up to this year. We are taking this opportunity to make the hospitality suite into the most magical place on Earth! That's right, the theme is Disneyland!
We will have delicious Disney-themed snacks like dole whips and non-alcoholic mint julips, midway games, and crafts like decorating your own Mickey ears. Brush up on your Disney knowledge, because we will also be doing a trivia contest with prizes. We'll even have a mini Main Street Electrical Parade! We are raising funds for future events, and you can just donate, or you can get spanked by a Disney princess!
International Miss Leather Weekend is a fun-filled weekend event for the International Miss Leather and International Miss Bootblack contests held in San Jose. For more information, check out their site: imsl.org/ There is no onsite registration, so make sure to register in advance online, and day passes are now available.

Pet Play Class for Littles
This coming Friday, January 22nd, we are having a very exciting new class at Wicked Grounds in San Francisco. It's a pet play class with a special focus on how littles can best take care of pets of all kinds! (We do mean the human kind!) Pet play and ageplay can go together great, because what could be more adorable than a little petting a playful kitten or taking a pup on a walk? This class intends to give students ideas on how these two types of play can come together.
Friday's class is taught by Azalea, who kindly offered to teach this subject to the Little Scouts. Azalea is an animal role play enthusiast, human pet trainer, owner trainer, and sex educator who has taught several classes before. She is also bringing several pets for a demonstration! For Little Scouts or those interested in joining the Little Scouts, this is the first step in earning your "Pet Play" badge. However, you do not have to be a Little Scouts member to attend the class, anyone is invited!
More information about the class is below.
Location: Wicked Grounds
289 8th Street, San Francisco, CA
Cost: $10-$20 suggested donation, but no one turned away for lack of funds
Dress code: Casual
Other: This event is for 18+ only

The Little Scouts Pride Flag
Jesbian, International Little Miss Little 2014 and Co-Vice President of The Little Scouts SF, has designed a wonderful flag to represent the Little Scouts and wrote this article discussing the meaning of that flag in identifying our community:
As a leather little I slowly progressed in the leather community as a "girl" and I earned my first hanky, hunter green, for my service to the women’s community by being a house service submissive for a full year. It was announcing I’m a “service leather little”. Soon I began to also flag mint along with hunter because my service was being given to multiple Bigs, including my community. I wasn’t flagging for “Mommy” or “Daddy” but instead the colors represented my little identity. I realized that my greatest happiness came from being that good little helper!
However, in the community around me I was noticing a big trend among littles. Discussion group after discussion group, at munches and meet-ups, it seemed like all I would see were littles in search of a Mommy or Daddy. I often saw littles expressing hurt feelings that they were missing pieces without that type of Big relationship to “complete” them. THere was a lack of a cohesive littles community and places where littles could learn from each other and find a place of belonging.
Then I met two littles, Carolyn and Zoey, who had banded together to make littles important not only for each other but to the larger community. They created a place where BIgs, Middles, and Littles of all lypes could come together for a stronger community and form their own chosen families. They broke the mold of old worn out stereotypes in age play and instead, created a place to learn together and build support. They did this by creating a group called Little Scouts!
Little Scouts is a place for all sorts of chosen families, including Bigs, Middles, Littles, or anything in between! The community is a place to share, learn, and grow together.
Most of all it has become a place for us to show that our community is capable of doing more! OUr little hearts are full of unconditional love for serving others as little
helpers and building bridges as part of the leather and age play communities. In doing so, not only did we form safe spaces and volunteer opportunities for age players, we produced real change toward changing perceptions of littles and reducing stigma around age play.
In creating the Little Scout’s flag, I chose to show our pride in being Big little helpers and service leather littles by going back to my roots as a leather little girl. The flag contains two hunter and two mint green stripes to represent all sides of Age Play. Whether that be with the Big, Middle, or Little in the dominant role or submissive role. It transcends the notion of how those identities can be portrayed. Still leaving space for the traditional DD/lg or Mommy/boy but also for people to define their own chosen families, be that Gardener to their little flower, Little to their pet, brother to sister, or handler to a mermaid! It’s all about the symbiotic relationships of our age play identities that nurture and feed you, whatever that may be. The white stripe is for purity in those open, honest and understanding relationships and the red heart is for the love of our true selves, love for our family and friends as well as love for the leather and age play communities.
This flag is meant to be a conversation starter about Big, Middle, and Little identities. It is about the pride of our chosen families, and how we can support and come together as one. Our flag shows how age players have the heart and pride of the leather community in them, filled with unconditional love. We promote service, care, education, and show kindness to create a better path for others to follow in.
