Scouting programs help young people reach their full potential by turning them away from drugs, gangs, juvenile delinquency and violence and helping them to
focus on developing positive traits such as physical and mental fitness, self-worth, self-esteem, self-reliance, personal satisfaction,
patriotism, and respect for others.
While camping is one of the primary reasons that a boy joins Scouting, it is also an ideal opportunity to develop character,
build teamwork skills and grow as a leader.
