...if I were to make one, it would go like this:
"The mission of a Cub Scout Pack/Boy Scout Troop/Varsity Team/Venture
Crew is to deliver the Promise of Scouting to young men and women
utilizing the programs and tools of the Boy Scouts of America."
====================<snip>=====================
For what it's worth, United States Code, Title 36 (Patriotic Societies
and Observances), Chapter 2 (Boy Scouts of America) states the following
regarding the BSA's charter incorporation:
"The purpose of the corporation shall be to promote,
through organization, and cooperation with other agencies,
the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others,
to train them in scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism,
courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues, using the methods
which were in common use by Boy Scouts on June 15, 1916."
Interesting, eh!!
