Mission Statement

STRENGTHENING YOUTH THROUGH SCOUTING Scouting provides experiences that help prepare youth for their future. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills for life. Success in life often comes down to making the best of any situation. Scouting hands youth situations and shows them how to make the best of them. It shows them how to build their own shelter in a hailstorm so they will know how to build a solid life afterward. Whether it's through navigating the world of computer programming, gathering food donations, or figuring out how to lead a group through the woods with a map and compass, Scouting helps youth realize what they are capable of doing. The Boy Scouts of America builds future leaders of this country, from astronauts to school teachers. Scouting is one of the most influential youth organizations in the country.
