 BSA Mission Statement “ The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. ” The Aims and Methods of Scouting All levels of the Scouting program share three specific objectives: Character development, Citizenship training, and Personal fitness. Character One is growth in moral strength and character. We may define this as what the boy is himself; his personal qualities, his values, his outlook. Citizenship A second is participating citizenship. Used broadly, citizenship means the boy's relationship to others. He comes to learn obligations to other people, to the society he lives in, and to the government that presides over that society. Fitness A third aim of Boy Scouting is development of physical, mental, and emotional fitness. Fitness includes the body (well-tuned and healthy), the mind (able to think and solve problems), and the emotions (self-control, courage, and self-respect). We meet weekly on Mondays at the "Scout House" a stand alone house behind the First United Methodist Church, 4845 Brockton Avenue ,Riverside, California, USA at 7pm-8:30pm.
