ABSTRACT
Phase I — Situation You are a senior-level administrator of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), one of the largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations in the United States. The BSA provides programs for boys that build character, train them in the responsibilities of participating as citizens, and develop them into leaders. For more than a century, the BSA has helped build future leaders of this country by leading boys in educational activities and instilling lifelong values. The BSA believes that helping youths is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society (Boy Scouts of America, 2013). The mission of the BSA is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by endeavoring to instill in them values such as duty to God and country, obeying the Scout Law, and embodying a string of wholesome adjectives, including keeping “myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight” (Boy Scouts of America, 2013).
