Proceeds from awareness and fundraising activities of the Gulf Stream Council of the Boy Scouts of America provide for attractive programs designed to expand a Scout's horizons. The aim of Scouting is character training with the goal of helping participants become independent and helpful citizens. Scouts are taught independence, leadership, the ambition to learn, and a moral code with positive goals. Developing characteristics of responsibility, self-reliance, self-confidence, and readiness, Scouts learn collaboration and leadership skills in preparation for the events of a fulfilling life.
