The council's recently started an Urban and Youth At Risk Leadership program that aims to bring Scouting values into schools where there are underpriviliged children but no active Scout troop. Public Agenda, a non-profit research agency, recently conducted a survey to identify the biggest challenges facing today's youth. Mr. Freyberg said. Better values and character are needed, but most people doubt that government programs are the answer. Little wonder that Scouting is alive and well in the Nintendo age.
Some values never go out of style.
