The Boy Scouts of America has been providing young men and women with opportunities to better themselves and their communities since 1910. With approximately 1.2 million youth members and over 10,000 Scouts from all across Los Angeles County, the Boy Scouts of America is one of the largest scouting organizations and one of the largest youth organizations in the United States.
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to support young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, so that they can make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes. The organization is dedicated to helping youth become responsible citizens by instilling the Scout Oath and Law into their daily lives. The Scout Oath states, “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.”
The Boy Scouts of America also promote safety and security. In recent years, the State of California passed a bill (AB 506) requiring all Scouting volunteers to take a mandatory online safety training. This training helps volunteers understand the importance of keeping children safe and provides them with the tools and resources to do so.
The Boy Scouts of America is dedicated to giving young men and women the opportunity to explore their potential, build character and make positive contributions to their communities. If you’d like to join the Boy Scouts or learn more about the organization, you can visit their website or contact the Western Los Angeles County Council in Van Nuys. With the help of dedicated volunteers and the Scout Oath, the Boy Scouts of America will continue to help youth reach their full potential.
