Since brought to these shores by the action of an unknown British Scout, the Boy Scouts of America has developed a rich history which the Hillcourt Museum tries to preserve. Since it's founding, the best and brightest have gravitated to the BSA. We claim as past, present, and future members presidents, astronauts, generals, sports greats and all other walks of life. A year by year list of actions of the BSA would show it as the most productive of all youth organizations.
Living by the Scout Oath and Law has been good for America.
