“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 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 over 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 over a century
of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and
productive society.


































We are proud of our Scouts and congratulate them on more than 100 years of service
