Boy Scouts of America Prepared for Life

About Boy Scouts

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation’s largest values-based youth development organizations. Scouting provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating in citizenship, develops personal fitness, and teaches leadership skills.

Boy Scout Troops are led by the Scouts themselves — with guidance from trained adult leaders — and help youths to develop life skills in keeping with with the principles set forth in both the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

The 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 Scout Law

  • Loyal
