Does Scouting Work? Yes it Does!
A study of Scouting America by Tufts University looked at six character attributes of 2000+ Scouts and non-Scouts over three years and found…
Key Findings:
The more time kids spend in Scouting the better the outcomes in character development.
Including:
Scouts are also more likely to embrace positive social values than non-Scouts.
Additional Findings:
Those who attend meetings regularly report higher outcomes in the six categories when compared to Scouts with lower attendance.
And Scouts who are more engaged in the Scouting program report higher outcomes in nearly every category!
