Serving Today’s Families BSA’s mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Our priority is to bring the benefits of Scouting to more youth while remaining true to our mission. We are excited to announce that beginning in 2018, our Cub Scouting program will be welcoming and open to boys and girls. This change will allow more youth to have access to the character development and values-based leadership that Scouting promises and will help them be better prepared for future success.
