MISSION OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
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.
"Don’t let the technical outweigh the moral. Field efficiency, backwoodsmanship, camping, hiking, good turns, jamboree comradeship are all means, not the end. The end is character- character with a purpose. And that purpose that the next generation be sane in an insane world, and develop the higher realisation of Service, the active service of Love and Duty to God and neighbour." Baden Powell
