Our Mission


2009-2013 Strategic Plan Report

It is the mission of the Boy Scouts of America to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath & Law.

The Pennsylvania Dutch Council strives to offer quality Scouting programs, through Chartered Partners, to all youth in our service area.


 

Scout Oath

On my honor I will do my best

To do my duty to God and my country

and to obey the Scout Law

To help other people at all times; 

 To keep myself physically strong, 

mentally awake, and morally straight.


 

Scout Law

A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
