Fails WP:GNG. Only secondary coverage consists of mention in one newspaper in Cincinnati and a church newsletter, which is probably not a reliable source. A case of WP:TOOSOON. Gtwfan52 (talk) 07:11, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

 * They are getting close to being an small but established alternative to the BSA. There is a bit more secondary coverage: Google search minus primary sources and some non related sites --Egel Reaction? 20:31, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * CommentTo the above---there are no reliable sources in your list that are not named above. Two blogs, Facebook, an agency that gave them a grant, and You Tube.  Their non-notability is somewhat proven by the fact that there exists a for-profit company and another non-profit with virtually the same name.  I realize it is OR to deduce this, but doesn't it stand to reason that if this group were very notable, one of the two other organizations would have sued to enjoin them from using the name?
