By the Numbers
Scouting Works
For three years, a research team from Tufts University worked with the BSA to measure the character attributes of both Scouts and non-Scouts. The differences were striking.
Scouts are significantly more likely than non-Scouts to embrace values like “helping others” and “doing the right thing”
The Results
The more time kids spend in Scouting, the better the outcomes in character development.
Scouts are more likely to embrace positive social values than non-Scouts.
Scouts who are engaged and spend more time in the program were more hopeful, helpful, obedient, cheerful, kind and trustworthy.
