The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is a youth organization, like the Y&Y in VN. It

builds character, and encourages good citizenship and personal fitness.

Scouting began in England in 1907. Two years later, an American businessman,

William Boyce, got lost in London. A boy helped him and explained that he was a

scout. This meeting led to the Scouts Association crossing the Atlantic in 1910.

In 1994, there were 5,400,000 scouts in America. Now scouting is popular

worldwide. The Scouting Association has more than 25 million members, making

it the largest voluntary youth organization in the world.

Although each nation’s scouting program differs slightly, the three aims,

established in 1907, are the same for the 21

st

century.
