develop good citizenship, and enhance both physical and
mental fitness. |

Boy Scouts: Boy
Scouting is available to boys who are 11 through 17
years old, or who have earned the Arrow of Light Award,

leadership and self confidence as they tackle
challenging activities in the outdoors and in their
community. |
