What Is Scouting?

It was there when a person first walked on the moon. And when a president struck a blow to an iron curtain with a single speech. It was there when Scouts across the country rallied to provide relief in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. For the past 100 years, it has been in the heart of every Scout who ever overcame one of life’s challenges. It is the value of being prepared. The core of Scouting and a statement that inspires a lifetime of character and service.

Cub Scouts

Do Your Best. Have Fun Doing It.The best way to find out what you do best is to do it. Swing a bat. Pitch a tent. Build a pinewood derby car. Cub Scouts are at that magical age where everything is new and possible and their most valuable reward is the friends they make for life and a parent’s proud smile. These are invaluable experiences that can be had in Scouting. These are life lessons that transform today’s Cub Scouts into tomorrow’s Scouts.

Scouts BSA

Be Prepared -- for anything. Many young people avoid obstacles; Scouts seek them. Camping is fun; surviving a downpour in the middle of the night is an adventure. Cooking over a camp fire is fun; learning which wild berries are edible is survival. Spending a weekend in the woods is fun; breaking camp without leaving a trace is admirable. These are invaluable experiences, life lessons, that transform today’s Scouts into tomorrow’s leaders.

Be Prepared.

Be prepared for life -- to live happily and without regret, knowing that you have done your best.
That's what the Scout motto means.

A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.

-- Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scout Movement
