Scouting encourages youths' spiritual growth by teaching them moral and ethical values and encouraging them to live by the spiritual values of their families.

Good citizenship:

Scouting helps a youth develop habits and attitudes of good citizenship by promoting interest in good government and civic affairs and teaching them to take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social, and moral welfare of the community.  A majority of parents report that Scouting helped their child(ren)- Get along with others, - Respect the feelings of others - Improve their social skills - Become better organized/ tidy - Respect the environment - Stay away from drugs - Be more helpful at home.

Scouting helps improve understanding and cohesion within the family by delivering the message to youths and their parents that manners, ethics, caring, respect, and service to one's own family are important attributes.

Respectful relationships:

Scouting strengthen a youths' ability to get along with others through a strong family emphasis and by offering a structured program of learning by doing.
