Scouting in the Family

Scouting changes lives!

Not only for the youth we serve, but for moms, dads, brothers and sisters as well.

Recent studies confirm the impact of Scouting.
Men who were Scouts for five or more years are more likely than men with no Scouting experience to:

• Graduate from high school (91% vs. 87%)
• Graduate from college (35% vs. 19%)
• Earn higher annual household incomes ($80,000 vs. $61,000)
• Value family relationships highly (81% vs. 72%)
• Hold lifelong friendships (89% vs. 74%)
• Attend religious services (87% vs. 77%)
• Believe helping others should come before one's self-interest (92% vs. 83%)

In addition, more than eight out of 10 men who were Scouts say Scouting helped them be a better leader in real-life situations.

Scouting provides youth and their famiiles an opportunity to grow individually and grow together.
