Three years later, on Feb. 8, 1910, Chicago publisher William Boyce founded the Boy Scouts of America. Since then, Scouting has served young people and their families through a program of values-based leadership and character development. Today, Scouting is found in 185 of the world’s 192 independent countries. Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law and help youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics and leadership and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. SCOUT OATH On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight SCOUT LAW A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
