WHY JOIN THE BOY SCOUTS?
(Where Do You Want To Go?)            

Scouting opens the doors to Adventure, Fun, Camping, Fun,
Friendship, Fun, Exploring, Fun, and did we mention FUN and at the same time that it breaks down the doors to learning, surviving, abilities, developing leadership skills, and help to eliminate the blockades in front of you!

If you want to "JOIN US" on one of the best journeys of your life, Read the rest of this page, then Email any of the Troop Leaders on the Scoutmasters Place page.

Scouting reinforces the skills and values you we want to learn, "WHILE YOU'RE HAVING FUN".


Education
Scouting is designed to promote socially acceptable behavior while arming our young men with the skills and knowledge they need to make wise decisions. Scouts, families and communities are helped through education provided by Scouting on:

Fighting child abuse and substance abuse
Environmental stewardship
Physical and mental health
Setting and achieving goals
Citizenship
Helping others in need, such as fighting hunger
through Troop-sponsored efforts
Career preparation and education


Leadership Skills
Scouting teaches our young men the skills that help prepare them for a lifetime of ethical leadership. Among Scouting alumni are:

Almost 90% of all Senior Class and Student Council Presidents
More than two-thirds of all Rhodes Scholars
More than two-thirds of military academy graduates


Values

Research conducted by Louis Harris & Associates showed that when a random sample of Scouts was asked what Scouting had taught them, almost nine out of ten responded with the following:

Take better care of the environment (89%)
Get along with others (88%)
Always give your best effort (87%)
Have confidence in yourself (87%)
Set goals for yourself (87%)
Care for other people (86%)
Treat other people with respect (86%)

In addition, Scouts were found to be more likely to:  assume leadership roles in clubs and school organizations put the needs of others before themselves make the most ethical, not necessarily easiest, decisions, and value education and the environment.

Scouting is Fun!
