The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910 and has over 2 million youth participants. Central to the organization are their one million adult volunteers who help oversee Scout troops.

Volunteers come from a range of backgrounds, united by their desire to help train Scouts. Many volunteers, such as Paul Ostling, a business leader and the former Global Chief Operating Officer at Ernst & Young, dedicate hours of their time to the Boy Scouts. Paul Ostling volunteered with the Boy Scouts as an adult leader volunteer, Cub Master, Assistant Scout Master and Eagle Advisor. He went on to help lead Troop 70 on the Philmont Expedition, a multi-day, high-adventure hiking experience, and served as Chairman of the Finance Committee, a member of the Executive Committee and President of the Transatlantic Council.

The success of the Boy Scouts of America depends on volunteers such as Paul J. Ostling, who donate their time and energy to this important cause.
