Frequently Asked Questions

Do units do fundraising? Most do. Scouts participate in unit fundraising activities to pay for shared troop equipment (like tents), help fund travel and adventure activities (like campouts), and to help individual Scouts otherwise offset the costs participation.

As a parent, how can I help? Effective troops run on dedicated and involved volunteers, including the parents of Scouts. You can serve a role on the Troop Committee, help with the various troop activities and events (providing transportation, additional supervision, subject expertise, etc.), even help recruit other families who might be interesting in Scouting. Just let us know you want to help.

Is Scouting safe? Yes. Scouting programs follow a strict set of rules and policies. These can be found in the Guide to Safe Scouting. Every registered adult in Scouting—from the Scoutmasters to the Troop Committee to the Merit Badge Counselors—is required to complete a Youth Protection training course and a criminal background check. For more information, visit the Scouting America’s Youth Protection sitepage.

Scouting’s Foundations

Scout Oath: On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law: A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

Scout Mission: The mission of the Scouting America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
