The Boy Scout Association was founded in England in 1908 by Robert Baden-Powell. It was an organization that promoted preparedness, nature survival and life skills for young boys. Scouting quickly became popular in the United States. Government leaders were happy that there was an organization for young boys to learn about things like citizenship and self-reliance. At the time, there was concern that boys were not learning these things and that basic values were being forgotten. Today, the Boy Scouts of America is one of the largest organizations in the United States with more than 900,000 members and 500,000 volunteer leaders. The Boy Scouts of America's motto is: be prepared. They go camping and hiking and learn about patriotism. Scouts also learn how to be helpful, contributing citizens in their homes, schools and communities.
