Scouting America: A Place to Learn, Explore, and Grow
Scouting America provides a safe and enjoyable environment where young people can learn, explore, and grow. Chartered by Congress, the organization instills the values of the Scout Oath and Law, preparing youth for lives of purpose and impact.
The Scouting America Promise
Scouting addresses the concerns of parents who wonder how their children will navigate life’s challenges, become strong and brave, and develop mental and moral fortitude.
The program aims to instill confidence without arrogance, and skills for the world beyond school and sports. It prepares them for emergencies, challenges, and whatever life throws their way. Scouts learn to think for themselves, work with their hands, and cooperate with others.
Scouting provides a safe and welcoming space for young people to engage with the real world, free from social media pressures. It challenges them without overwhelming them, and fosters a sense of belonging.
A Path Forward for All
Scouting welcomes all children and offers a path towards new skills, advancement, and leadership. It empowers them to create something of lasting value through individual effort.
Building Character and Confidence Through Fun and Adventure
Scouting encourages young people to seek out challenges, test their limits, and overcome adversity. Through activities like camping, knot-tying, leadership, and community service, Scouts develop practical skills, build lifelong friendships, and have fun.
The excitement of conquering a new trail, the thrill of the first campfire, and the pride of earning a new badge inspire a lifelong passion. Scouting helps young people grow up with purpose and confidence, embodying the true spirit of Scouts BSA: fun, adventure, and character-building.
