The Three Pillars of Scouting
Scouting 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, the Pinewood Derby, hiking, or providing service to others, each adventure helps build the foundations for humility and compassion, strengthening character through actions, to prepare our youth for lifetime leadership.
