What is the BSA?

The Boy Scouts of America provides the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training, which helps young people be “Prepared For Life.” The Scouting organization comprises approximately 2.2 million youth members between the ages of 5 and 21 and about 800,000 volunteers in local councils throughout the United States and its territories. Since its inception in 1910, more than 130 million young men and women have benefited from the BSA’s youth programs.
