It is our vision to prepare today's youth for future success.
Men today who were Scouts as youth will attribute their success to the program that helped to guide them as a youth. Many of our astronauts are Eagle Scouts, many of our Presidents were Scouts and like Gerald Ford, Eagle Scouts. Men who were Scouts as a youth will also tell you that time spent with their family is the most important time they can give back. (these are based on a Harris Study done for the Boy Scouts). A well known business man in Fort Collins, CO, credits his success in the business world, family and wealth to Scouting. Scouting asked this at-risk youth, to join the movement as a young boy. He was able to make positive adult connections which led to college scholarships and a path to achieving success, because someone asked him to join. We look forward to our female Eagle Scouts achieving the same recognitions.
The mission of the Adventure West Council, Boy Scouts of America is to instill honor, integrity, and leadership in youth by engaging youth and families through fun, quality programs, outdoor experiences, and service to community.
