As a parent, you want your child to grow up to be a person of worth, self-reliance, dependability and caring. Scouting has these same goals in mind for them. Since 1910, Scouts BSA has been weaving lifetime values into fun and educational activities designed to assist parents in strengthening character, developing good citizenship and enhancing physical fitness in youth.

These values help your child make good ethical decisions throughout their lifetime and give them confidence as they become an adult leader of tomorrow. With all the negative influences in today’s society, Scouting provides your child with a positive peer group and a program that is fun and adventurous and helps them “Be Prepared” to shape their own future.
