The Treasures of Scouting: Character Traits and Skills to Ensure Youth Success

"We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future."-President Franklin D. Roosevelt

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) has been building America's youth for more than a century. Over that time, nearly 100 million kids have passed through its ranks and today BSA boasts 2.5 million members and almost a million adult volunteers. Jeff Johnson has been with BSA for more than thirty years, and has collected some of his favorite memories for you to enjoy-stories that reveal the strength of character and moral rectitude that scouting can provide. Part memoir, part manual, The Treasures of Scouting can help readers everywhere understand how to encourage youths to become productive members of society.
