About Us
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 Law.
Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

A Call to Action
Picture a piece of string that’s 18 feet long. It’s far too long to stretch out, so imagine sliding it through your hands. Feel it on your palms as it moves along, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly, until you finally let it go.
Those 18 feet of string represent the years when you have the power to mold your child’s future, to help him become the person you’ve always dreamed he would be. At one end of the string is that wonderful day when you brought your son home from the
hospital. At the other is that frightful day when he’ll head off to college or a job or the military.
How many feet of string have already slid through your hands? How many years have already passed you by? However many years are left, you can make the most of them through Scouting.
For a hundred years, Scouting has been instilling values in young people and reinforcing those values in adults. For a hundred years, Scouting has been teaching leadership and life skills to both kids and their parents. For a hundred years, Scouting has been strengthening families and communities alike. For a hundred years, Scouting has been opening its doors to parents who only want the best for their children. And now the door is open to you.
Will you enroll your son in Scouting?
Will you become involved yourself?
Will you band together with the Boy Scouts of
America to make our great nation even greater?
All you have to say is yes. Scout’s honor!
