About the Boy Scouts
of America
The Boy Scouts of America was
incorporated to provide a program for community organizations that offers
effective character, citizenship, and personal fitness training for
youth.
Specifically, the BSA endeavors to develop American citizens who are
physically, mentally, and emotionally fit; have a high degree of
self-reliance as evidenced in such qualities as initiative, courage, and
resourcefulness; have personal values based on religious concepts; have
the desire and skills to help others; understand the principles of the
American social, economic, and governmental systems; are knowledgeable
about and take pride in their American heritage and understand our
nation's role in the world; have a keen respect for the basic rights of
all people; and are prepared to participate in and give leadership to
American society. Learn more about BSA at their website.
Who can Join?
To join Boy Scouts, a boy must be 11 years old
and in the fifth grade, or 10 1/2 years old and in the fifth grade and
have earned the Arrow of Light Award as a Webelos Scout (Cub Scouting),
but not yet have reached the age of 18.
Usually a boy should visit more than one troop
before he chooses to join one. It is best to choose a troop that is near
one's home so that it is convenient for him to get to activities. The
boy's parents should accompany him to the first meeting. After a
discussion with one of the Adult Leaders, the boy and his parents will
fill out the application form, pay the troop registration fee, and
receive a BSA health history/physical/consent to medical treatment form,
to be turned in within two weeks. A Scout must be registered (Troop
registration fee paid) to participate in Troop activities and campouts
(as per BSA National policy).
