Mission
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
Programs and Services
- The Boy Scouts of America, Laurel Highlands Council, serves nearly 10,000 youth members and 4,000 volunteer adult leaders throughout its multi-state footprint in Western Pennsylvania, Western Maryland, and parts of West Virginia, making it one of the largest councils in the Boy Scouts of America.
- Since 1910, Scouting has helped mold the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes and, through nearly a century of experience, understands that helping youth puts us on a path toward a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
- Our Vision Statement: The Boy Scouts of America, Laurel Highlands Council aims to beneficially involve every eligible child and his or her family in the fun and adventure of our programs. We will provide extraordinary youth development programs that: strengthen values, develop leadership skills, provide lifelong learning and instill the habit of service to others. Laurel Highlands Council will be widely acknowledged as a community and national leader in serving youth, families, and neighborhoods.
- The result will be achieved through the partnership of: 1) children and families, 2) strong community organizations, 3) committed, trained volunteers, and 4) districts, board and staff able to align community resources in support of Scouting.
