What is Scoutreach?
·
The
Scoutreach Division gives special leadership and emphasis to urban and rural
Scouting programs. Scoutreach is the BSA's commitment to making sure that all
young people have and opportunity to join Scouting, regardless of their
circumstances, neighborhood, or ethnic background.
·
Scouting,
by emphasizing ethics and moral values, addresses many of the social concerns
of parents and youth in our country. Scouting prepares urban and rural youth to
be leaders, to accept responsibility, and to care about principles and causes
beyond their own self-interest.
Our biggest asset in urban and rural neighborhoods is a well-defined program
based on values, learning by doing, fun, and positive role models.
To recruit strong adult leaders and to develop solid
relationships with chartered organizations in urban and rural communities
nationwide to ensure that culturally diverse youth have the opportunity to join
the Scouting Program.
Vision Statement
Scoutreach reflects the diversity of the urban and rural neighborhoods and
communities that it serves and uses that strength to enhance customer
satisfaction and enrich the Scouting experience.
