Scouting is a powerful educational tool. It helps children develop leadership and character through a series of engaging and unique activities. Scouting is delivered through parents and community organizations. In this way, each Scout Troop or Pack is unique and a reflection of the community. Every Scout deserves an equal Scouting program. However, all communities do not have equal access to resources. In fact, the curriculum is so robust, no community has enough resources to deliver a robust program without some additional support. Because each Scout unit is a reflection of their community it stands to reason that communities with more resources often have the ability to provide a more enriching program to their children, than communities with less resources.

In these situations, the Scouting Council works to enhance the resources for all Scouts. For many communities the resources needed come though the Scout Reach program.
