The Dan Beard Council Boy Scouts of America provides a youth-development program for more than 35,000 Scouts. The organization helps young people build character, teaches them ethical and moral standards and develops personal health and fitness. Scouts learn teamwork, develop integrity and participate in new opportunities. Scouting builds a foundation of leadership for the youth of our community by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
