  • 2018 Scouting's Impact on the Economic
    2018 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA ANNUAL REPORT TO THE STATE Scouting’s Impact on the Economic Engine of North Carolina 2018 Annual Report to the State of North Carolina For more than 100 years, youth participating in the Boy Scouts of America have promised “to help other people at all times.” Another of the Scout Laws is to be thrifty, which teaches Scouts to ‘work to pay their way and to help others.’ These principles encourage each Scout to identify the needs of others and to address those needs through diligent work. Helping others through innovation is the basis of entrepreneurship. Scouting teaches self-discipline, leadership, teamwork, and resourcefulness. The Scout Oath and Law emphasize integrity. With this training in hand, many North Carolina Eagle Scouts start and lead companies, contributing their ingenuity to fill unmet needs and achieving economic success. Over 400 Eagle Scout entrepreneurs lead high- growth companies in North Carolina industries, including real estate, healthcare, and technology. These Eagle Scout entrepreneurs no doubt helped North Carolina become Forbes Magazine’s “#1 Best State for Business” in 2017, and a state whose 871,000 small businesses account for almost half of North Carolina’s employment and gross domestic product. By highlighting Eagle Scouts from across our state who have created dynamic and successful companies, the 2018 Report to the State recognizes entrepreneurial leadership as one of the many contributions of Scouting. As you read this report, collected and assembled by a committee of Eagle Scouts, whom I thank, you will be encouraged by these Scouts and their dedication to conscientiously fulfill their duty to serve others through business.
