Boy Scouts of America, Northwest Georgia Council

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. 

When we talk about “Prepared. For Life. ™” in Scouting, that’s what we teach. We provide the skills necessary to help America’s young people meet the challenges of today’s society, and then use those skills to mentor others behind them from generation to generation. Prepared. For Life. demonstrates a lasting legacy of great leadership taught through the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. All of these outdoor adventure programs help our Scouts learn the secrets of problem solving and team work as they navigate difficult trails and deal with the many surprises Mother Nature has to offer. In this rapidly changing society, problem solving and team work are prerequisites for great leaders as our Scouts make their way through life’s many rewards and challenges. We teach self-reliance, confidence in the face of adversity, and the ability to lead others. Our Scouts overcome challenges that exceed even their own expectations.
