Scouts BSA provides opportunities that build character, encourage mental and physical fitness, and teach the importance of cooperation, citizenship, and responsibility, and working as a team.
Whether it’s an outdoor adventure or learning about careers through hands-on experiences, Scouting helps you spend quality time with family, friends, and other caring adults while building self-confidence and living according to the Scout Oath and Law.
Cub Scouts is a year-round program that offers fun activities that promote character and leadership development. Our program is designed to be hands-on, and parents are encouraged to play an active role in our programs. This program is for boys and girls aged 5 through 10 years old. Young boys and girls build confidence, a sense of personal achievement, respect for self and others, and develop communication skills. Cub Scouts is FUN with a purpose.
Want to learn lifelong leadership skills while challenging your mind through physical and outdoor activities? How about working in a team to accomplish tasks and making friends for life? The Scouts BSA experience is for youth 11 to 17 years old. Service, community engagement and leadership development become increasingly important parts of the program as youth lead their own activities and work their way toward earning Scouting’s highest rank, Eagle Scout.
Venturing gives young men and women aged 14 to 20 access to a range of programs and empowers them to create their own experiences. Venturing is youth-led and youth-inspired.
