About this organization
Mission
The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910 and exists today to serve others by helping instill values in young people and prepare them to make ethical choices during their lifetime and achieve their full potential. Community-base organizations receive national charters to use the Scouting program as part of their own youth work in the Three Fires Council. The 730 groups in our Council have goals compatible with those of the BSA and include religious, educational, civic, fraternal, business and labor groups, governments, corporations, professional associations and citizens' groups.
