SCOUTING promises you the great outdoors.  As a Scout, you can learn how to camp and hike without leaving a trace and how to take care of the land.  You'll study wildlife up close and learn about nature all around you.  There are plenty of skills for you to master, and you can teach others what you have learned.  Everyong helping everyone else - that's part of Scouting, too.
SCOUTING promises you friendship.  Members of the troop you join might be boys you already know, and you will meet many other Scouts along the way.  Some could become lifelong friends.
SCOUTING promises you opprotunities to work toward the Eagle Scout rank.  You will set positive goals for yourself and then follow clear routes to achieve them.
