Boy Scouts

The Boy Scouts refers to a youth organization that promotes outdoor skills, citizenship, leadership, and community service among young boys and young men. Established in the early 20th century, it emphasizes a values-based program that encourages personal development and responsibility. The organization is known for its structured advancement system, where members can earn badges and ranks by completing various skill-based activities and community service projects. The Boy Scouts often engage in camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities as a means of learning and bonding. The overarching goal is to develop character, instill ethical values, and provide a supportive environment for boys as they grow into responsible adults.
