About the Campaign

The "Scouting. Good for Life." campaign is centered on the Scout Oath and its greater meaning. The words in the oath are the foundation for a tradition-rich legacy that has helped young people and adults lead fulfilling and successful lives. The message: no matter where you go, or where life takes you, the meaning behind the oath will be there to help you on your journey.
