We're proud to announce a partnership with professional football player David Montgomery. Starting his Scouting adventure in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a member of Scout Troop 772, David learned how to balance his passion for football with his commitment to Scouting, and the important life and leadership skills it awarded him. In fact, Montgomery’s high school Eagle Scout project combined both passions. Leveraging the high attendance and popularity of his high school football games, Montgomery led toiletry drives to support Cincinnati’s unhoused community. “Scouting took me outdoors and helped me discover a lifelong love for camping and fishing,” says star running back, David Montgomery. “It also taught me valuable lessons like developing a strategy and executing a plan, as well as how to be accountable for others than myself,” he continues. “These skills helped me both in Scouting, and also taught me how to be a better athlete on the field.” Today, David runs impressive plays on the football field and simultaneously raises awareness of the positive impact of Scouting. “David’s journey from a local Scout Troop to the NFL serves as a powerful reminder of the impact our program can have on youth, inspiring them to discover their full potential,” says Roger Krone, Chief Scout Executive, President and CEO of Scouting America. Join us as we celebrate David’s role as our Scouting America Recruitment Ambassador. We are so honored to partner with him and look forward to the future ahead – it’s a win for all involved!

关于我们
The Boy Scouts of America (the BSA) is one of the largest Scouting organizations in the United States of America and one of the largest youth organizations in the United States, with more than 2.4 million youth participants and nearly one million adult volunteers. The BSA was founded in 1910, and since then, more than 110 million Americans have been participants in BSA programs at some time. The BSA is part of the international Scout Movement and became a founding member organization of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1922. The BSA’s goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations. For younger members, the Scout method is part of the program to instill typical Scouting values such as trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoors skills, through a variety of activities such as camping, aquatics, and hiking. In order to further these outdoor activities, the BSA has four high-adventure bases: Northern Tier (Minnesota, Manitoba, and Ontario), Philmont Scout Ranch (New Mexico), Sea Base (Florida), and Summit Bechtel Reserve (West Virginia). The traditional Scouting divisions are Cub Scouting for children in grades K-5, Scouts BSA for youth ages 11 to 17 and Venturing and Sea Scouting for young men and women ages 14 (or 13 and having completed the 8th grade) to 20.
