There are been many changes over the years. The mission of the Boy Scouts of America
is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by
instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

2) Raise $142,000 in our Friends of Scouting Campaign. Currently at $94.628.
