Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Boy Scouts of America, Children & Youth
Mission: Provide safe, fun, innovative youth development programs, using the national boy scouts of america outdoor program as a basis for teaching life long skills and instilling ethical behaviors in young men and women beginning at the age of 6 and continuing through the age of 21. It is the mission of the organization to deliver the boy scout program to the six northern and eastern counties providing youth in its service area with organized outdoor activities designed to teach self reliance and instill lifelong values that encourage young adults to make ethical choices throughout their lives.
Programs: Katahdin scout reservation and camp roosevelt provided a summer camping experience for nearly 1,000 youth. During their attendance at camp, youth learned outdoor skills and engaged in teamwork activities. Many learned swimming and water safety skills. Others developed confidence while navigating a ropes course, designed specifically for that purpose. Maine high adventure base provided a camping experience to several hundred youth. While camping or hiking, these youth learned teamwork and self reliance as they planned and executed a wilderness adventure trek. See below for continuation
