Tuft’s University Project
A research team from Tuft’s University decided to follow Scouts and non-Scouts over three years to measure character attribute differences. Their findings were striking! They discovered that “Scouts are significantly more likely than non-Scouts to embrace values like “helping others” and “doing the right thing.”
Tuft’s Results
