Value of Scouting

Sharing Your Stories Matters.

With every generation, there is an abundance of stories and experiences collected by Scouts of their adventures.

We would like to take the time to share with you all these Scout’s stories and what the Power of Scouting can do for youth.

BSA Parents Launch New Website and Tell Their Stories

We all know how truly amazing Scouting parents are.

They go above and beyond, and they constantly ask what they can do and how they can help.

In many ways, they are our best asset to help demonstrate the value of the Boy Scouts of America and to talk about what this great organization means to American communities.

So, we want to make you aware of a newly-formed group called “BSA Parents” that just launched on digital and social media.

The group is run by parents of Scouts. The group came together so parents can use the Internet and social media to talk about what Scouting means to them. 

This is an independent organization, not affiliated with BSA, and they formed to help parents tell their stories. It has no dues and it offers no programs. Their mission and stories are ones we want to support!

We are excited to see so many people taking up the message of Scouting. I am writing today with the hope that you will share this site and these videos with parents in your area.  More people need to see and hear from the parents who are so involved with — and so passionate about — Scouting. The BSA’s character-building programs are essential for our youth and we are excited for parents to help propel that message forward.
