The lessons that my sons learned were immeasurable. In this day when so many boys are lacking male role models and the avenues to challenge themselves and discover their place in nature and society, BSA offers a valuable and important service. My sons learned lessons of leadership, confidence, working together and self-worth that they couldn't have learned anywhere else.
