LIVING BY THE SCOUT OATH AND LAW Each spring, the celebrates the legacy of great civil rights leader Whitney M. Young, Jr. and the spirit of community engagement that he inspired by holding a special event named in his honor. Although that event has been moved to the fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting on Mr. Young’s life and the wisdom he shared with the Boy Scouts of America is timely. Over the years, Whitney Young often engaged with the Boy Scouts of America. Just before the publication of his second book Beyond Racism,” he addressed the BSA national organization and it was around that same time that he invoked the BSA’s motto in a memorable quote: I’d rather BE PREPARED for an opportunity that never comes, than have an opportunity come and I am not prepared.” OL? _76Given the challenges facing our world today, the words of the Scout Oath and Scout Law are a clear invitation – but, we are prepared! The calls for respect, courtesy, helpfulness, and bravery that are implicit in our Scout Oath and Scout Law guide us to always stand up to injustice, to thoughtfully listen to one another, to be committed to becoming the best versions of ourselves, and to lift up all of our communities. The Scout Oath and Scout Law have been our guiding principles since the BSA was founded in 1910. They have prepared generations of young people to work and serve in the world. And now, the opportunity is ours to be living examples of these ideals through our actions and words with all of those we encounter each and every day. Join Scouting’s programs and outdoor adventures give young people the opportunity and freedom to explore a world beyond the boundaries of everyday life. It presents them with chances to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence and develop leadership skills. These experiences not only help Scouts while they are young, but also stay with them throughout their adult lives, growing into exceptional men and women that respect their family, community, religion, country and themselves.
