A different way to view the BSA…

We deliver the character traits found in the Scout Oath and Law.

With those values in mind, we are very much a part of workforce development!

People seldom are fired over reading, writing and arithmetic; educational issues. People get fired over character issues; trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind… etc.

Your education is what gets you the interview. Your education is what is required to get the job you want. However, it’s your character by which you keep that job.

Let’s get personal…

Families don’t break up over educational issues. Relationships break up over character issues… trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind… etc.

So… is character important?

Tell me how football, baseball and soccer will help a person keep his job other than the obvious health benefits? Tell me how sports reinforce numerous traits that contribute to a successful marriage. Tell me how sports will help build a better friend, husband, father, employee, employer, citizen and partner in any relationship.
