With more than 130 Merit Badges—from Archery and Art to Welding and Wilderness Survival—Scouting is the ultimate form of learning by doing. By imagining, planning, and then doing their own service projects, Boy Scouts learn the value of hard work and experience the thrill of seeing it pay off.
Add in outdoor adventures, like hiking and camping, and Scouting gives youth experience that will benefit them throughout their life. Service, community engagement, and leadership development become increasingly important parts of the program as youth lead their own activities and work their way toward earning Scouting’s highest rank, Eagle Scout.
