Do Your Best!
Scouting is all about trying new things and new experiences. Whether it’s camping or science – you can find it in Scouting.
It’s an amazing adventure for the whole family. We welcome sisters, brothers, parents, grandparents - any family member or caring adult who wants to get in on the fun and learning!
The ideals the Scouting program teaches are timeless. Scouting builds respect for others, character, fitness, citizenship, and leadership... and so much more! Scouting helps youth become their best future selves. It prepares them for life with strong character values like honesty and courtesy, and skills like cooking, first aid and conservation.
Most importantly, Cub Scouts do fun things with other kids! Scouting is all about trying new things and having new experiences with other families. Cub Scouts earn achievement awards, hike, camp, play all kinds of sports, build things like race cars and rockets, and form new friendships.
Want to learn a secret code? Want to learn about wild animals? Want to build robots? Want to make your community a better place? Then Cub Scouting is for you! It’s an amazing adventure for the whole family.
Be Prepared. For Life.

At all age levels, the Scouting program works to develop confidence and leadership skills in youth through a variety of experiences with their family and peers. In Cub Scouting for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, the highest award (called the Arrow of Light) symbolizes the values of wisdom, courage, self-control, justice, faith, hope, and love. Independent research has found that those who have attained the highest levels in Scouting are more likley to:
Have higher levels of planning and preparation skills, be goal-oriented, and network with others
Be in a leadership position at their place of employment or local community
Report having closer relationships with family and friends
Volunteer for religious and nonreligious organizations
Donate money to charitable groups
Work with others to improve their neighborhoods
Scouting places significant value in perseverance, discipline, motivation, leadership, accountability, and achievement. As Scouts perservere in Sixth Grade through High School within the Scouts BSA program towards the Eagle Scout Award, they will grow into adulthood and experience tangible benefits in areas such as:
College admissions: Admissions officers recognize the Eagle Scout award and consider it in their decisions. Being an Eagle Scout won't make up for poor grades, but it can give an applicant an advantage. Admissions officers may not be familiar with other awards or organizations, but they should recognize the Scouts BSA Eagle Scout rank.
Scholarships: Eagle Scouts are eligible for many scholarships. Unigo, a network for future college students, offers a list of Eagle Scout-only scholarships.
Military rank: Every branch of the U.S. military allows Eagle Scouts to enter at a higher rank and pay grade than others who are not Eagle Scouts.
Career: Many employment recruiters look for "Eagle Scout" on a resume, and the positive traits that achievement represents.
