How Scouting Benefits Youth

Scouting empowers young people to become confident, responsible, and community-minded citizens. Through outdoor adventures, teamwork, and leadership experiences, Scouts learn valuable life skills that prepare them for success in school and beyond.

Research shows that Scouting youth are 87% more likely to demonstrate strong moral character, 82% more likely to volunteer regularly, and 76% more likely to take on leadership roles in school or community activities.

Scouting also has a lasting impact on social and academic development.

  • 78% of Scouts report that Scouting helped them make lasting friendships and improved their ability to work as part of a team.

  • 74% say it strengthened their communication and problem-solving skills.

  • 69% credit Scouting with helping them stay organized, set goals, and improve their academic performance.

Beyond individual growth, Scouts contribute directly to their communities — in our Council alone, youth and families give back over 20,000 hours of service each year through food drives, park cleanups, and Eagle Scout projects that improve neighborhoods and support local needs.

Scouting doesn’t just prepare kids for the next adventure — it prepares them for life.
