Scouting emphasizes having fun while encouraging youth to feel good about themselves, their friends and family, God, and the environment. The different sections help youth expand their leadership skills and gain self confidence for their age group.

Scouting promotes activities that encourage youth to:

• express and respond to their own spiritual values and beliefs while showing concern for others
• develop self reliance
• pursue hobbies and personal interests
• develop self discipline and the skills of working cooperatively with others
• cooperate in setting and achieving small group and personal goals
• practice leadership skills
• relate with adults
• be of service to others
• camp, explore the outdoors, and develop good conservation practices

The outdoors is an essential part of the Scouting program. Weekend events, extended hikes, no trace camping and seasonal sports opportunities round out the Scout experience. Developing an active, healthy lifestyle is the prime goal. This is emphasized by outdoor and environmental activities, citizenship and community service, leadership, and personal development. Individual interests and skills are recognized through an awards system.
