The National Geographic Society developed the National Geography Bee in response to a growing concern about the lack of geographic knowledge among young people in the United States. A 10-country Gallup survey conducted for the Society in 1988 and 1989 found that people in the U.S. ages 18 to 24 — the youngest group surveyed - knew less about geography than young people in any of the other countries in the survey.
The National Geographic Society, with nearly 10 million members, has as its mission the “increase and diffusion of geographic knowledge.” In addition to the National Geography Bee, the Society sponsors a number of other geography education initiatives, including the Summer Geography Institute for teachers, the National Geographic Society Education Foundation, and the Geographic Alliance Network, which is currently working in almost evgry state and Puerto Rico.
