Patriotic Youth Group Access

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill requires North Carolina public schools to allow patriotic youth groups, like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, to give short presentations to students. These presentations, which would focus on group membership and civic education, must occur during the school day but outside of instructional time. The changes would apply starting with the 2026-2027 school year.
