What is Boy Scouting?
"Every boy delights in the adventure of a hike into the woods.
He loves to explore caves, to climb hills, to wander through and spy
out unknown territory."
- from The Handbook for Scoutmaster, 2nd edition, 1920
Boy Scouting offers young men incredible opportunities to learn
about the outdoors and many other things. Scouts can progress their way
through Boy Scouts by completing the six ranks: Tenderfoot, 2nd Class,
1st Class, Star, Life, and finally Eagle. Along that incredible journey
the scouts will make new friends, learn new skills, do things they have
never done before, and most importantly grow closer to their Creator.
Before becoming a scout, boys must agree to live by the Scout Oath:
"On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my
country,
To obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times,
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight."
They also agree to live by the scout law:
"A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Why Boy Scouting?
"The
Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent
values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a
program for young people that builds character, trains them in the
responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal
fitness.
For nearly a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of
this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values
with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and, through
nearly a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a
key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive
society."
