The Boy Scouts of America

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is a youth organization founded in 1910 that promotes character development, outdoor skills, citizenship, and leadership among boys and young men. It emphasizes learning through activities like camping, hiking, community service, and advancement through rank and merit badges. The BSA aims to instill values such as trustworthiness, loyalty, and bravery. It has faced challenges and controversies over the years, including issues regarding membership and inclusivity, but remains focused on fostering a sense of community and personal growth among its members. Today, the organization also welcomes girls in its programs.
