Celebrate National Boy Scout Day with pride - join us in recognizing the important contributions of Scouts everywhere!
Celebrate National Boy Scout Day on Feb. 8 and honor the history of this amazing organization! The Boy Scouts of America has been inspiring young people for over 100 years, teaching them important values such as leadership, service to others and self-reliance. On this special day we recognize all those who have taken part in scouting activities - from the scouts themselves to their families and leaders - for making a positive impact in our communities.
Pack your tents and sleeping bags, bring enough food and supplies to last the night, and head out with your troop. Whether you're camping in a nearby park or in the woods, this is a great way to celebrate National Boy Scout Day.
Do something good for your community by planning a service project. Pick up trash from the local beach or park, paint over graffiti, plant trees, etc. It's a great way to show how Boy Scouts can make a positive impact.
Take advantage of the outdoors and go on a hike with your troop. Depending on where you’re located, there are probably tons of amazing trails to explore near you. Just make sure to be prepared and wear proper hiking attire.
Bring all your favorite grilling items – burgers, hot dogs, sausages, veggies – and have an outdoor barbecue with your troop. Don’t forget to bring some s’mores ingredients for dessert!
If it’s raining, staying inside and watching some classic Boy Scout movies is also a great way to celebrate National Boy Scout Day. Gather snacks, drinks, blankets and pillows for an evening of fun.
The Boy Scouts of America is all about helping young boys develop strong moral values and character traits. Through camping trips, service opportunities, and other activities, scouts learn important lessons like responsibility, self-reliance, citizenship, and integrity.
Being a Boy Scout helps boys grow into responsible adults by teaching them leadership skills such as communication, organization, time management, and problem solving. These are all vital life skills that will help them succeed not just in their professional careers but also in their personal lives.
If you've ever been in the Boy Scouts, then you know how special the bond between scouts can be. Boys who join the scouts share a common goal - to become better men who have high standards of honor and respect for their community. This shared purpose creates strong bonds between them that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
