Weyland-Yutani Corporation
“Building a Better World”
Weyland-Yutani Corporation (NASDAQ: WYC) is a technology company specializing in communications and biotechnology. The company was formed in 2013 by the merger of American-based Weyland Industies and Japan-based Yutani Corporation. The merger came about in part due to the death in 2004 of Weyland Industires founder Charles Bishop Weyland while on an exploratory expedition in Antarctica.
Weyland-Yutani is known to have diverse interests in the fields of telecommunications and biotechnology, and specializes in the development of satellites and pharmaceuticals.
Youth Scouts of America
Formed in the early teens the Youth Scouts of America combined both the Boy and Girl Scouts of America into one gender-neutral, non-denominational organization. The mission of the YSA is to:
- Offer young people responsible fun and adventure;
- Train young people in citizenship, service, and leadership;
- Serve America's communities and families.
Since its inception the YSA has had a close relationship with various government agencies including the military, Interior Department and Forestry service. The relationship between the YSA and US Armed Forces has been the cause of some criticism, and recent recruitment statistics has led some to claim the YSA is feeder for the military.
The YSA maintains the scouting traditions of ranks and skill awards, and a focus on camping and outdoor activities. However the YSA also provides exposure to modern pursuits and technology and helps prepare America's youth for the challenges of the 21st centruy. Several high profile sports and media stars have been members of the YSA and continue to provide financial and media support for the organization.
