Scouting promises
you the great outdoors. As a Scout, you can learn how to
camp and
hike without leaving a
trace and how to take care of the land. You'll study wildlife
up close and learn about nature all around you. There are
plenty of skills for you to master, and you can teach others
what
you have learned. Everyone helping everyone else—that's
part of Scouting, too.
Scouting promises you friendship. Members of
the troop you join might be boys you already know, and you will
meet many other Scouts along the way. Some could become lifelong
friends.
Scouting promises you
opportunities to work toward the Eagle Scout rank. You will set
positive goals for yourself and then
follow clear routes to achieve them.
Scouting promises you tools to help you make
the most of your family, your community, and your nation. The
good deeds you perform every day will improve the lives of those
around you. You will be prepared to help others in time of need.
Scouting promises you
experiences and duties that will help you mature into a strong,
wise adult. The Scout Oath and the Scout
Law can guide you while you are a Scout and throughout your life.
Adventure, learning, challenge, responsibility—the
promise of Scouting is all this and more. Are you ready
for the adventure
to begin?
