Scouting
Scouting programs for our youth have been with us since the early 1900s and although controversies and scandals with the organizations arose in recent decades, the original intent of the Scouts' programs was to teach character development, citizenship, leadership, and mental and physical fitness values to young people so they could make ethical and moral choices over the course of their lifetimes. Below are JHSNJ archived photos of our local communities' Scouts.
