Why Scouting Matters
Adventure With a Purpose
The camping trips, projects, service and friendships are what young people experience. Along the way, Scouting is helping them grow into confident leaders, responsible citizens and people who are ready to help others.
Greater Tampa Bay Area Council, Inc., Scouting America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving youth and families across West Central Florida through programs that build character, leadership, citizenship and life skills.
Our Mission
Scouting America prepares young people to make ethical and moral choices throughout their lives by building their experiences around the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
Scouting Is the Difference
What They Learn Goes With Them
Scouting combines character development, leadership, citizenship and outdoor experiences in ways that help young people grow far beyond a single meeting or camping trip.
Positive Values
Scouts learn to make good choices, take responsibility and understand how their actions affect the people around them.
Kindness & Helpfulness
Teamwork, service and shared experiences give Scouts regular opportunities to practice helping and supporting others.
Confidence for the Future
Trying new things, solving problems and taking on leadership helps young people see what they are capable of.
The Foundation of Scouting
The Scout Oath and Scout Law give young people a shared set of values to put into practice at meetings, at camp, at home and in their communities.
A Commitment
The Scout Oath
A Scout promises to do their best, serve others and continually work to grow physically, mentally and morally.
