Happy Birthday, Boy Scouts!

The Boy Scouts of America is about to celebrate 100 years of service to our nation.
The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
For nearly a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and through nearly a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
I was a Boy Scout and my son was a Boy Scout. I know the value of scouting.
Scouting works.
It helps builds character. It prepares boys and young men to lead. It strengthens our nation. It upholds our highest ideals.
Happy Birthday, Scouts! Here's to another hundred years!
