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:

Scout Law

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.

A Scout is ...

Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly,
Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful,
Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

 

The Boy Scouts of America is the nation's foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training.  In the future Scouting will continue to:

  • Offer young people responsible fun and adventure;

  • Instill in young people lifetime values and develop in them ethical character as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law;

  • Train young people in citizenship, service, and leadership;

  • Serve America's communities and families with its quality, values-based program.


Outdoor Code:

As an American, I will do my best to --

       Be clean in my outdoor manners,
Be careful with fire,
Be considerate in the outdoors, and
Be conservation-minded.

Scout Motto: 

Be Prepared.

 
Scout Slogan: 

Do a good turn daily.
