What is Scouting BSA

    • Scouts BSA was incorporated to provide a program for community organizations that offers effective character, citizenship, and personal fitness training for youth.
    • Endeavors to develop American citizens who are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit; have a high degree of self-reliance as evidenced in such qualities as initiative, courage, and resourcefulness; have personal values based on religious concepts; have the desire and skills to help others; understand the principles of the American social, economic, and governmental systems; are knowledgeable about and take pride in their American heritage and understand our nation’s role in the world; have a keen respect for the basic rights of all people; and are prepared to participate in and give leadership to American society.
    • Focuses on developing our girls and boys to be healthy upstanding citizens who will be the outstanding leaders of tomorrow and who possess upstanding morale character and values.
    • Scouts will learn the value of the Scout Law, Oath, tradition, leadership, opportunity, adventure, environment and much more.
    • This is a Youth Led Troop and offers scouts various leadership opportunities and responsibilities in order to help become the leaders of tomorrow.
