Scouting joins the home, the church, and the school
in rounding out the life of a boy. Scouting is
education as well as an avocational and leisure
time activity.
The Boy Scouts of America recognizes the importance
of reading as a basic skill with lifelong values and
publishes Boys' Life magazine, The Boy Scout Handbook,
and many other books for boys.
109 different merit badges help boys explore vocations
and hobbies. Scouts earned 1,750,000 last year.
Merit badges added to the program in 1965, to keep up
with breakthroughs in science and invention, included
Communications, Space Exploration, Conservation of
Natural Resources, and Metallurgy.
650,000 volunteer adults took part in 71,000 Scout
training courses and conferences, learning how to give
a better Scouting program to boys.
