A Scout's love for his country and respect for his flag are evident even to a casual observer. Every Scout belongs to a group identified with success, whether he be a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Explorer. Each boy joins the ranks of thousands worldwide who share similar interests. In our country, this positive identity is strengthened through council wide events and periodic national jamborees. Everyone wants to be on the winning team.
Scouts have a winning identity.
Even the smallest church in your area may have at its disposal a highly skilled and fully trained staff dedicated to youth work. Moreover, they are mobilized and organized to render this help. Scouting offers our churches the link to the community participation we need. Not only can we share through Scouting the responsibility for our community's youth, but we can also, at the same time, improve the positive, caring image of our churches. A Scouting unit provides an endless opportunity for outreach and ministry to our church boys, to other boys we will reach, and to their parents.
