Exploring Order of the Arrow Scouting Programs - Learning for Life Learning for Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Boy Scouts of America. The mission of Learning for Life is to serve others by helping to instill values of good character, participating citizenship, and personal fitness in young people, and in other ways to prepare them to make ethical choices throughout their lives so that they can achieve their full potential. Learning for Life can help schools prepare students to handle today's complex society. It's designed to build confidence, motivation, and self-esteem. It can help students learn positive personal values and make ethical decisions.
Character development is a lifelong process, with roots firmly planted in childhood.
Learning for Life has curricula designed to fulfill its mission. In 1991, the Boy Scouts of America created Learning for Life as a wholly owned subsidiary, totally separate from traditional Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Exploring. Learning for Life also helps develop social and life skills, assists in character development, and helps students formulate positive personal values. It prepares students to make ethical decisions that will help them achieve their full potential. Rationale At a time when drugs and gangs are ravaging our schools and communities, Learning for Life is a catalyst to help stop this trend.
