+Boy Scouting is a membership level of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) for boys and young men. It provides effective youth training in character, citizenship, and mental and personal fitness. Boy Scouts are expected to develop personal religious values, learn the principles of American heritage and government, and acquire skills to become successful adults.
-{{ wiki:BSAFleurDeLis.jpg|Boy Scouts of America}}
+To achieve these, Boy Scouting applies eight methods of Scouting: ideals, the patrol method, participation in outdoor programs, advancement, adult association, personal growth, leadership development, and the uniform.

They are organized in Scout troops, administered by volunteers with support of paid professional staff. Youth and adult members are Scouts, the boys are referred to as Boy Scouts, and the adults as Scouters.
+=====Organization=====
+Local Boy Scout units are "Troops." Troops work together in a Scout "District." Two or more districts comprise a [[scout_councils|Scout "Council."]] There are four Scout "Regions" (Northeast, Southern, Central and Western) that include approximately 80 councils each. There are over 300 councils nationally.
-=====About the BSA=====
+=====Program and activities=====
-{{ wiki:BSA_ad.jpg?255|The Coast Guard Auxiliary congratulates the Boy Scouts of America}} Every organization has its own way of expressing itself, as well as its own approach to how to get the job done. The Boy Scouts of America (**BSA**) is no exception. This page is intended to provide Coast Guard Auxiliarists information about BSA, how it talks, and how it is organized. Most resources are found on the [[http://www.scouting.org/|official BSA website]].
+{{ wiki:President_with_scouts.jpg?255|President Barack Obama shakes hands with Boy Scouts in the Oval Office, July 12, 2010}}
+Boy Scouts of America troop program and activities are determined by the senior patrol leader and the patrol leaders council under the oversight of the Scoutmaster. Troops generally hold meetings weekly, although they can be irregular during the summer. Troop meeting activities may vary from training in Scout skills to planning camping trips or playing games.
-======Organization======
+Troops may plan outings and activities outside the troop meeting. These may involve camping, backpacking, hiking, canoeing, rafting, climbing, caving, rappelling and other activities. These outings are an important place for Scouts to work on skills and rank advancement, have fun, and engage in productive outdoor activities.

+Most councils own and operate one or more permanent camps. These camps may host a variety of activities throughout the year. The summer camp program provides a week-long session for troops that includes merit badge advancement and adventure activities. Facilities may include ranges for shooting sports, archery, rifle, and shotgun, and for climbing and rappelling.
-These recognitions are earned by Boy Scouts, Sea Scouts and Venturers:

+Boy Scouts has seven ranks, grouped into two phases. The first phase of Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class is designed to teach the boy Scoutcraft skills, teamwork and self-reliance. Scout is the first rank, awarded when a boy first joins the Scouts, and requires just a rudimentary knowledge of Scouting's ideals.

-======Program and activities======
+The second phase of Star, Life and Eagle is designed to develop leadership skills and encourage the Scout to explore potential vocations and avocations through the merit badge program. These ranks require that the boy serve in a position of responsibility and perform community service.

+====Eagle Scout====
+The [[eagle_and_quartermaster_recognition|Eagle Scout]] requires, in addition to merit badges and a position of responsibility, a community service project planned and led entirely by the Eagle Scout candidate. After attaining the rank of Eagle, a Scout may earn Eagle Palms for additional tenure and [[merit_badge_counseling|merit badges]].
-Most councils own and operate one or more permanent camps. These camps may host a variety of activities throughout the year. The summer camp program provides a week-long session for troops that includes merit badge advancement and adventure activities. Facilities may include ranges for shooting sports&nbsp;— archery, rifle, and shotgun&nbsp;— and for climbing and rappelling.
+Although Eagle is the highest rank, for which Scouts should strive, the number of Scouts achieving First Class within one year of joining is still one of the key measures of unit effectiveness. Studies have shown that, if a Scout achieves First Class within a year of joining, he typically stays in Scouting for at least three years. Scouts who do so are more likely to retain Scout values as an adult.
-It is common for several troops within a district or council to gather at least once a year at a special weekend campout called a amporee. A camporee is a district- or council-wide event where several units camp and engage in activities, Scoutcraft competitions and learn specialized skills.
-The [[http://www.bsajamboree.org/|national Scout jamboree]] usually occurs every four years, and draws more than 30,000 Scouts from across the country and the world. The last jamboree took place in 2010 at [[http://www.aphill.army.mil/|Fort A.P. Hill]] in Virginia, and the next will occur in 2013.
-=====Ideals=====
-The [[http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Media/Relationships/ascoutisrevernt/ss04.aspx|Scout Law]], [[http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Media/mission.aspx|Scout Oath]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scout_Motto|Scout Motto]], [[http://www.macscouter.com/advance/boyscout/bsslogan.asp|Scout Slogan]], and [[http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/TheBuildingBlocksofScouting/outdoors.aspx|Outdoor Code]] are the cornerstones of Boy Scouting. Each Scout learns to use make these ideals a part of their way of life and personal growth. Boy Scouts must memorize and understand these ideals. They also represent these ideals symbolically in official emblems.
-The Scout Sign is used when giving the Scout Law or the Scout Oath and as a signal for silence. The Scout Salute is used when saluting the flag of the United States. The left-handed handshake is used as a token of friendship and as an identity with Scouts worldwide.
-======Advancement and recognition======
-=====Youth advancement=====
-Boy Scouts has seven ranks, grouped into two phases. The first phase of
-Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class is designed to teach the boy Scoutcraft skills, teamwork, and self-reliance.

Scouts who do so are more likely to retain Scout values as an adult and achieve the BSA primary mission of "producing useful citizens".
 Ranks and other recognitions are presented in a troop awards ceremony called the court of honor. The Eagle Scout rank is usually presented in a separate and special court of honor.
-=====Awards=====
+====Other awards====
-Several religious emblems programs are administered by various religious institutions and recognized by the BSA. These are generally recognized by a medal and an embroidered square knot. Other advancement and recognitions—such as the Mile Swim Award, Crime Prevention Awards, Emergency Preparedness Award and World Conservation Award—are available to Scouts who show proficiency in special areas. BSA's //National Court of Honor// is responsible for lifesaving and meritorious awards. All Courts of Honor for Eagle Scout rank are convened as National Courts of Honor also.

-======Leadership in the troop======
+=====Leadership in the troop=====
+{{ wiki:BSA_ad.jpg?255|The Coast Guard Auxiliary congratulates the Boy Scouts of America}}
 Every troop has two separate leadership structures: one consisting of Scouts and another consisting of adults. The adult leadership manages the logistics of troop activities, administers rank advancement and awards, maintains troop records and finance, and recruits new Scouts and adult leaders. The youth leadership keeps order and coordinates labor at activities. Scouts and adults cooperate to plan agendas for troop meetings, as well as the troop's schedule of outings.
-=====Development=====
+====Adult development====
-[{{wiki:Boy ?150|Boy Scout Memorial in [http://www.nps.gov/whho/ President's Park}}, Washington, D.C.]]
+The Scoutmaster provides Troop Leadership Training (TLT) at the troop level. Youth leaders are encouraged to attend National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) at the council level, and a select few may progress to National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE) at the national level. Those interested in staffing these courses may complete the Youth Staff Development Course (YSDC) at the regional level.
