Why do we need the Boy Scouts?

Scouting teaches a lot of things that are difficult to find in other programs. Every scout is encouraged to take leadership rolls, not just a few captains. They are taught morals, outdoorsmanship and what to do in emergencies.

Scouts are more likely to:

- graduate from high school, college and graduate school

- start or lead a business

- be class president and captains of sports teams.

- hold elected office

- serve in the military

- attend one of the military academies

- attend church, espouse moral behavior and enter the clergy

- actively enjoy and appreciate the outdoors

- marry and be happy in their marriage

- be anastronaut

.... just to name a few things.
