Slothicorns: A Troop for Transgender Scouts of All Genders and Ages

Slothicorns: A Troop for Transgender Scouts of All Genders and Ages

When high school student Felix Davis was assigned a senior project, he wanted to create a way to support the transgender community. He surveyed a Facebook transgender support group with over 13,000 members. When asked about what gender-affirming activities they regretted not experiencing, the dominating response was overwhelming: getting to participate in scouts as their authentic selves. Davis used this info as the basis of his senior project and created Slothicorns, a "magical and tired" online troop for transgender scouts of all genders and ages.

Davis used his art tablet to design a mascot and troop patches. He also designed badges, a colorful series of patches for scouts to earn by completing tasks in one of six themes:

• PLAY (red)
• PRESENTATION (orange)
• AFFIRMATION (yellow)
• CULTURE (green)
• COMMUNITY (blue)
• HOBBIES & INTERESTS (purple)

As word of Davis' idea grew, so did the number of people wanting to get involved and help transform his idea into a reality. A diverse group of artists, business owners, and activists from across the country generously offered to help out. Before long, what started as a school assignment evolved into a non-profit organization. Slothicorns Inc. will launch its campaign on Kickstarter on April 2nd with a goal to secure funding for 250 scouts.

Slothicorns board member TJ Hartman was eager to assist. "I became involved in Slothicorns, Inc. because I love to help and lead others. This project lets me do something I love without the pressure of conforming to the gender binary. Scouts are scouts, no matter their gender, and I am honored to offer my skills and time to enrich the lives of others." Hartman emphasizes, "It is so important to feel like a part of something. The camaraderie and accomplishment of a scout troop can change a life. It can even save a life."
