Politicians may not align on every issue, but here’s one topic about which they agree: Scouting helps prepare young men and young women for life.

Twelve delegates representing four different BSA programs submitted the 2018 Report to the Nation into the congressional record on Tuesday in Washington.

In recognition of a mutually beneficial friendship, the BSA presented the Hornaday Gold Certificate to the National Park Service.

On a tour led by Eagle Scouts, the Report to the Nation delegates saw where midshipmen eat, live, take classes and participate in sports.

One by one, the Report to the Nation delegates shared their story. And one by one, viewers were reminded of the ways Scouting empowers young people.
