Mecklenburg County Council, Boy Scouts of America Scout Name: Johnny Scout DOB: 01/01/1990 Troop: 00 District: Apache Statement of Belief: Every youth in Scouting is a candidate for Eagle, Arrow of Light or Venture Silver awards. The only limitation is the scout’s own personal desire, focus, ability and perseverance. Objective: To provide a safe haven for personal growth free from adversity such as hazing, disrespectful or threatening behavior of others, but filled with opportunity and challenges. Methodology: To encourage and, within reasonable expectations, provide each scout with the opportunity and avenue to achieve his or her personal levels of success and goals. To remove unnecessary and unreasonable physical, programmatic and attitudinal barriers, through creative thinking and problem solving, which may impede a scout in achieving his goals. At the same time, the Scouting experience will not lessen the challenges necessary to actual personal growth in keeping with the Scout Law and Scout Oath. Addendums relative to advancement, merit badges, requirements, etc. may be required.
