BSA (Boy Scouts of America)

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is a nationwide youth organization that aims to develop character, leadership, and various skills through outdoor activities, community service, and educational programs. It provides boys and young men (and now includes girls in some programs) opportunities to learn about responsibility, teamwork, and citizenship. BSA emphasizes values like honesty, respect, and perseverance, often through camping, merit badges, and team challenges. Its mission is to prepare youth to make ethical choices and achieve their full potential as active, responsible members of society.
