Scouting's Bottom Line

What happens to a Scout? For every 100 boys who join Scouting, records indicate that:  

  • RARELY Will one be brought before the juvenile court system  
  • 2 Will become Eagle Scouts  
  • 17 Will become future Scout volunteers 
  • 12 Will have their first contact with a church 
  • 1 Will enter the clergy  5 Will earn their church award 
  • 18 Will develop a hobby that Will last through their adult life 
  • 8 Will enter a vocation that was learned through the merit badge system 
  • 1 Will use his Scouting skills to save his own life 
  • 1 Will use his Scouting skills to save the life of another person
