Aims of Scouting
Character Development
This aim is to build self-reliance, self-discipline, self-confidence, and self-respect. The scout understands and improves himself: his personal qualities, his values, his outlook on life.
Citizenship Training
This aim is to nurture respect of, participation in, and caring for community, nation, and world while fostering a commitment of service to others and an understanding of local, state, and national government. Citizenship refers to the scout's relationship to others - his obligations to other people, to the society he lives in, and to the government of his society.
Personal Fitness
This aim is to develop life-long physical, mental, emotional, and moral fitness. Fitness includes a healthy, strong body, a mind able to imagine and reason, and a spirit of courage, caring, and self-control.
