“Scouts prove themselves in an environment that challenges their courage and tests their nerve. After they’ve been given the proper guidance from those with experience and know-how, they take their own lead, going places they’ve never gone, seeing things they’ve never seen, and diving into the rugged world of outdoor adventure, relying on teamwork and character to accomplish what everyone else thinks is impossible.”
Scouts BSA is available to boys and girls who are 11 through 17 years old, or who have earned the Arrow of Light Award, or have completed the fifth grade.
