Boy Scouts of America

BOY SCOUTS

“Boy Scouts” by Mike Carey

Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910 in Washington, D.C., by William Boyce. Boyce recognized his love for nature at a young age. Somewhat fictionalized legends say that he had learned about scouting when he became lost on his way to Africa in 1909. He was lost in dense fog when he met a young boy who guided him to his destination. When Boyce returned back to America he started the BSA. The BSA’s main focus from the start was on teaching self-reliance, resourcefulness, obedience, courage, patriotism, cheerfulness, citizenship, and courtesy. He used these focuses to “make men”.

Today, Boy Scouts of America is the nation’s largest and most prominent youth organization. Their main focuses are still the same as they were in the 1900’s with the goal of combining education and fun together to help the boy scouts gain lifelong characters that will carry them through life.

Boy Scouts have many adventures and summer camps, such as Jamboree. This gives scouts a chance to meet people from other locations which expands their social skills. It also offers fun and exciting ways to help gain physical fitness and environmental awareness.
