Produced by Boy Scouts of America, this short, color promotional film acts as recruitment material to encourage young boys to enroll and join the organization. The film uses a combination of historical footage and clips of different boy scouts and troops engaged in a diverse array of experiences and activities to entice the viewer. Narration is featured throughout the film in order to further underscore the endless possibilities and important passions and skills that can be taught, learned, and nurtured through the Boy Scouts of America organization. While there is no official copyright date, based off of the footage it seems the film is from the early 1970s, post Apollo 11 moon mission.
