The Boy Scouts of America - Scout Motto

Be Prepared.

That's the motto of the Boy Scouts.

"Be prepared for what?" someone once asked Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, "Why, for any old thing." said Baden-Powell.

With the skill that any young man learns in Boy Scouts, they will be prepared for an every changing world. As the Scouts continues to adapt with the changing times the boy scout motto stays the same! No matter the situation a boy scout will be ready for the situation. Whether saving someone drowning in a swimming pool, or fixing a computer they have learned the skills necessary to the task.

Furthering this "Baden-Powell wasn't thinking just of being ready for emergencies. His idea was that all Scouts should prepare themselves to become productive citizens and to give happiness to other people. He wanted each Scout to be ready in mind and body for any struggles, and to meet with a strong heart whatever challenges might lie ahead."

Be prepared for life - to live happily and without regret, knowing that you have done your best. That's what the Scout motto means.
