Boy Scouts of America in the Pittsburgh area is outstanding! The leaders in the organization have been exceptional mentors to many boys in which many of them have attained the rank of Eagle. The troops have fun all while learning valuable life lessons on leadership, stewardship, volunteerism, mentoring, and communication in conjunction with living by the principles of the Scout Oath and Law, and the Outdoor Code in their daily lives. In my personal life, my husband and I have met other parents of troop members who have become life long friends. We have also benefitted from the principles in scouting in our daily lives by paying it forward to others who are considering scouting for their own children. The various indoor and outdoor activities ranging from white water rafting/kayaking, hiking, camping, skiing, access to world class museums, education, and history that are available in the Pittsburgh and surrounding areas to scouts is phenominal!
