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 nearly 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 nearly a century of experience, knows

that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
