Partners in Character is designed bring the Boy Scouting program and Freemasonry closer together. Both programs are about Character Development.

The P.I.C. programs puts the Masonic Lodge and the Scout units in direct contact.
It is a great opportunity for lodges to interact with young men and there parents. It's bound to start young men and their fathers asking questions about what Masons are and what they do. As well as bring the resources of the Local Masons to the Scout Units
A young man who has a good experience interacting with Masons today stands an outstanding chance of becoming a Mason as an adult. Oklahoma Masons can be a great asset to the Scout unit.
Why would you want these to groups to work together?

The program is designed to bring these two organizations closer together. Such a program stands to greatly benefit both Scouting and Masonry. 
   Masonic Lodges are made up of some of the finest people in any community.Their members are some of the best mentors that our youth could ever have. Local Masons for example would make outstanding Merit Badge councilors. Just think of the amount of knowledge in the average Masonic Lodge. It is a sin not to make the optimal use of these people both as long term and short term mentors.



 The program is multi-fold

1. Lodges that do a joint fund raiser to raise money for desperately needed Scouting programs would receive a Certificate.
2. Lodges that participate as full Partners in Character and earn Copy of a Norman Rockwell painting for their Lodge wall
3. Scout units participate as a Partners in Character unit and earn the award full award would receive the a patch for uniform wear
