The Benefits of the Scouts

Being a Boy Scout or Girl Scout is more than just being a part of a club. For most kids, it is about teamwork, relationship building, friendship, trust, and fun. At Ramsey Outdoor we also see the benefits of scouting because it gets kids into the great outdoors and teaches them to love and respect their surroundings. Not only have we sold official uniforms and licensed products for years, but we have always supported our local BSA and GSA troops!

Scouting has been around for more than 100 years. It helps kids to develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that they can use every day and help prepare them for their adult life.

Both the Boy and Girl Scouts instill a strong sense of self-confidence in each scout and help them with 6 essential needs of the young adults who are growing up in today’s world, including:

• Mentoring
• Lifelong Learning
• Serving Others
• Healthy Living
• Building Character

While these reasons are all great reasons to join scouting, these are just the tip of the iceberg! There are so many benefits to both the Boy’s and Girl Scouts, with each child creating their own path, but the only way to find out is to sign your child up.
