Scouting America provides the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training, which helps young people be “Prepared. For Life.®” Scouting America builds on the organization’s 114 years of helping America’s youth. Its ongoing goal is to provide young people with a safe environment where they can learn meaningful life skills and have fun, educational experiences, fostering their growth and future outcomes as leaders, and be prepared for life. At the same time, values instilled by the Scout Oath and Law help prepare young people for lives of purpose and impact. Scouting America welcomes all of America’s youth into its programs. Our goal is to give them fantastic experiences in the outdoors, and elsewhere, where they can grow with us in a safe environment.
“Scouting America provides a welcoming, safe environment where youth can become the best version of themselves by learning from and respecting each other,” said Krone. “I encourage everyone to join us and experience the benefits of Scouting.” -Roger A. Krone, president and chief executive officer of the Boy Scouts of America.
Our troop offers the classic scouting experience tailored for youth ages 11-17 years old. As one of the longest-standing youth organizations in the United States, we provide opportunities for young individuals to engage in a myriad of outdoor adventures, including camping, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, and much more! Our mission at Scouts BSA is to instill valuable life lessons in young minds including character development, citizenship training, leadership, and mental and physical fitness, to name a few.
