About
For over one hundred years, Scouts America has provided programs with a singular mission of preparing young people for adulthood, and to be responsible citizens.
Coastal Carolina Council (#550) provides services and youth-development programs to families and community organizations in nine counties of coastal South Carolina. Five key focus areas ensure outstanding opportunities for youth and adult members:
Leadership: Scouting’s purpose is to prepare young people for a lifetime of leadership. Our nation will never outgrow the need for thoughtful, responsible leadership. The values and lessons of Scouting will never go out of style.
Achievement: The Scouting experience includes learning valuable skills and achieving meaningful goals. The Boy Scouts of America promote action—taking the initiative to do things that better individuals, strengthen relationships, and support communities.
Character: Through its methods and program, Scouting helps shape and build in youth the many qualities that guide good decision making in life. Scouting’s lessons last a lifetime.
Service: The commitment by adults helps build a straight road for our youth to follow into the future. Scouting helps the youth of America find—in themselves and in the world around them— more than they thought possible.
Outdoors:Â Learning to appreciate our world and our place in it remains essential to the Scouting experience. Youth today face many distractions. Scouting promotes active involvement in the enduring nature of the Scouting experience.
