Prepared. For Life.
Since 1910, Boy Scouts
of America has been the nation’s foremost youth program of character
development and values-based leadership training, helping young people to be
Prepared for Life. A research team from Tufts University worked with the Cradle
of Liberty Council to measure the character attributes of
both Scouts and non-Scouts. The project, which was funded by the John
Templeton Foundation and led by Dr. Richard M. Lerner,
surveyed nearly 1,800 Cub Scouts and nearly 400 non-Scouts to better
understand character development of Scouts. After a two-and-a-half-year
period, the study proved Scouting builds positive character and prepares
young people for life. Click on the video to see the results is that study.
Scout Led Activities
 Scouting is playing a game with a purpose.
By participating in fun activities, planned and run by fellow scouts, not just
adults, Boy Scouts learn life skills and have fun in a safe, nurturing
environment. 75% of Scouting is Outing, so we try to plan to be outside
as much as possible, whether at area parks or camping throughout the Midwest
and United States.
