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.
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 Scout Law.
