Choosing to enroll your child in Scouting does exactly that. The Northern New Jersey Council, Boy Scouts of America, supports you in delivering that kind of value in Scouting. Scouting gives kids what they need to succeed.

Economic circumstances, genetics, trauma, and many other factors play a role. And they are things that people from all walks of life can help to nuture. Scouting provides positive, supportive environments. Empowerment - Young people need to be valued by their community and have opportunities to contribute to others.
