About the provider
The Del-Mar-Va Council was established in 1917. Scouting America says its mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling the values of the Scout Oath and Law. The council’s community involvement statement says Scouting provides youth with programs and activities that allow them to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards, and that Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills.
