(Source: Boy Scout Summer Camp Outcomes Study) Unfortunately, no one is born with good character and strong values: those are learned from friends, peers, mentors and religious leaders. While building character is primarily the role of parents, society should be concerned about the state of Americas youth and help them understand that good character is the foundation of a happy and successful life. As adults, parents and community leaders, we have the duty to teach the importance of values and responsibility to our children--nonly right from wrong, but values such as fairness, courage, honor and respect for others with different views.

Sun American Jay Whiting 1(800) Mortgage 339-81- 48 stood for. Over the past 91 years, parents have come to know that Scouting helps instill character in Americas youth. The Boy Scouts of America has helped lay the foundation for the future for more than 110 million alumni and members. In fact, independent studies show that adults who participated in Scouting as youth are more likely to put the needs of others before themselves; make honest, not easy, decisions; and value education and the environment. "Today, the BSAs responsibility is no different. They reach out to youth from all economic, ethnic and religious walks of life who share their values. Americas youth are too important to our nations future to ignore their character development. That is why the BSA knows an investment in Americas youth will pay dividends today and tomorrow," said Ron Nyman of the Utah National Parks Council.
