Education

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

When Luis Collazo was growing up, there were certain parts of his own neighborhood that were off-limits.

It was the late '80s. Gangland Hartford, when the Savage Nomads, Ghetto Brothers and Park Street Posse ran on the streets.

There were lines, invisible boundaries, carving up his slice of Frog Hollow. Kids took their lives into their own hands if they did something as simple as walk a few blocks.

But amid the chaos there was a protected class of sorts. Gang members recognized this group by their distinctive uniforms. They knew their leader, a man who had once taught them, a man they respected.

They all knew Boy Scout Troop 5.

Hands-on activities spark curiosity and learning for children using lab experiments, the most valuable teaching method to help prepare young people for STEM studies and future careers.
STEM Scouts is a coed program designed to captivate young people as they discover science, technology, engineering and mathematics and pique their interest in one of the growing fields. The program is growing at a time when young people are reporting that they want more hands-on real-world experiences when it comes to their STEM education.
“Young people have an incredible sense of curiosity that pairs so well with the studies of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and Scouting, but studies show that they’re not getting what they need to grow their understanding and interest in these subjects,” said Mike Surbaugh, Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America.

Funding Needs

Financial resources for the local council (the local nonprofit corporation
chartered by the National Council) come from an annual Friends of Scouting
campaign, local United Ways, foundation grants, special events, project sales,
investment income, trust funds, bequests, and gifts of real and personal
property.
These funds provide for professional staff supervision, organization of new
Scouting units, service for existing units, training of volunteer leaders, and
maintenance of council camps. They also finance the operation of the local
council service center, where volunteer leaders can obtain literature, insignia,
advancement badges, and other items vital to the program. In addition, the
service center maintains advancement and membership records.
