How Does Scouting America Include Parents And Guardians?

Posted on October 13, 2018 by Mike Bielkiewicz

Scouting America is a volunteer-led program. Each Scout troop is sponsored by a local community organization. Parents are welcome and encouraged to get involved as a troop leader or volunteer. Parents and the community organization select troop leaders. Scout leaders have the opportunity to work with young men and women and their families, improving the community through fun-filled activities that teach values of the Scout Oath and Law. By serving as a leader you can help make a positive difference in the kind of adults Scouts grow into.

Many tools, resources, and training is available to assist volunteers in becoming effective leaders and enjoy their experience.
