About the author
Founded in 1910, Scouting America is one of the best-known youth organizations in the United States. Its mission is to help young people make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by teaching the values of the Scout Oath and Law, with programs centered on character, citizenship, personal fitness, leadership, and outdoor adventure.
Over more than a century, the organization has reached more than 130 million young people with the help of millions of adult volunteers. Its programs now serve youth from early elementary ages through young adulthood, and the organization remains a founding member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
Readers may know it by its former name, Boy Scouts of America. That name defined the organization for most of its history, but it officially began doing business as Scouting America in 2025, reflecting a broader, modern identity while keeping its long-standing focus on service, skills, and community.
