Scouts BSA (formerly Boy Scouts of America)
Try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards! For more than 100 years, BSA Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. BSA Scouts (formerly Boy Scouts of America) give youth a sense that they are important individuals. Scouting promotes activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. Scouting goes beyond basic skills and promoting teamwork, encouraging youth to achieve a deeper appreciation for service to others in their community. Leadership development is an important part of the program. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.
Scouts BSA provides opportunities for boys and girls from K through 17 years old, and beyond. Scouts set and lead their own program (within boundaries given by BSA), which consists of regular meetings, rank development, Merit Badges that allow youth to explore topics in-depth and acquire life skills, summer camp, and High Adventure options for older scouts.
