Scout´s Motto


“BE PREPARED”


OUR MISSION

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make
ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values
of the Scout Oath and Law.


SCOUT LAW

A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient,
cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.


SCOUT OATH

“On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey
the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”




THE VALUE OF SCOUTING

Discovery is at the heart of Scouting. Whether it’s a campout, derby car race,
or hike on the trail, we believe every adventure helps us uncover a little more
about ourselves. We build the foundations for humility and
compassion—strengthening character through actions—to prepare youth for a
lifetime of leadership.


PREPARED. FOR LIFE.



Scouting teaches youth to confront any challenge with whole hearts and clear
minds—to live their lives without regret, never back down, and do their very
best!


SAFETY

In Scouting, we will not compromise the safety of our youth, volunteers, and
employees. Safety is a value that must be taught and reinforced at every
opportunity. We are all responsible and must hold each other accountable to
provide a safe environment for all participants.


DIVERSITY

The BSA promotes a culture where youth, volunteers, and employees feel a sense
of belonging—where every person feels respected and valued. We welcome families
of all backgrounds to help prepare young people to serve as successful members
and leaders of our nation’s diverse communities.


BECOME YOUR BEST SELF

Through fun yet challenging physical and mental activities, Scouting encourages
personal growth by teaching youth how to set goals and achieve them with
determination.


FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Scouting is something the whole family can experience together. We designed our
program so that anyone—brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers—can have fun and
make an impact!


I want kids, not just my own, but all kids, to feel for what another person
might be missing and understand what another might be going through in their
life. I want our kids to have fun but also care for one another!
