ABOUT THE BSASlide5
WHY SCOUTING
Scouts
do stuff. They build things. Play with purpose. Make friends and work together. Set goals and achieve them. They go places. Physically. Mentally. Spiritually. These life-changing
experiences – and
the confidence they
provide – form
a foundation
a
Scout can stand on to embrace opportunity and overcome obstacles in life.It’s not a question of where they will go, but where won’t they go. Slide6
WHY SCOUTING
Scouting provides experiences that help prepare youth for their future. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence
their adult lives.
Scouting provides the
opportunity to:
Try new things
Provide service to others
Build self-confidence
Reinforce ethical
decision makingSlide7
CUB SCOUTING
Cub Scouting is the foundation of our organization. Cub Scouting is where the adventure begins.
Cub Scouting focuses on building character, improving physical fitness, teaching practical skills, and
having fun!
For boys in first through fifth grades, Cub Scouting involves the whole family as
parents
pitch in to plan and
deliver
activities. Cub Scouting emphasizes doing one’s best.Slide8
BOY SCOUTING
Boy Scouting allows young men
to go places, test themselves, and have one-of-a-kind adventures
that can’t be had anywhere else. The life lessons learned transform today’s Boy Scouts into tomorrow’s leaders.
The Boy Scouting experience is for young men in fifth grade through high school.
Service
,
community engagement
, and leadership development become increasingly important parts of the program as youth lead their own activities and
work
their way toward earning Scouting’s highest rank,
Eagle
Scout. Slide9
Scouting encourages youth
to learn and grow by advancing through “ranks”
in the organization.
The highest rank, Eagle Scout, requires an enormous amount of hard work, dedication,
and leadership.
An Eagle Scout has proven his character and leadership by making a positive impact in his own life, his family, and
his community.
WHAT IS AN
EAGLE SCOUT?
WHILE OUR PROGRAMS ARE FUN AND EXCITING FOR YOUTH, THEY ALSO TEACH LIFE LESSONS CENTERED ON THE FOUR PILLARS OF SCOUTING:Slide10
VENTURING
Venturing’s
purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare
them
to become responsible and caring adults.
This coed
program for young adults ages 13 (and have completed the
eighth
grade) through 20 focuses on adventure, leadership, personal growth, and service.
Venturing’s motto, “Lead the Adventure,” reminds Venturers
to
always
pursue
life in the spirit
of
adventure. Slide11

By working together, your organization and Scouting can combine time and other
resources
that result in stronger, more confident children and
more
productive families
and
communities. A relationship with Scouting can
also
help your organization
to fulfill
its mission and

outreach efforts.Slide13
