"In Scouting America (the new name for the Boy Scouts of America / BSA), scouts make close friends, learn useful life skills, and try activities they would normally not get the chance to do.
Scouting is also famous for transforming kids into good leaders and capable young adults, holding them to a high standard.
"My son's done horseriding, scuba diving, ... he gets to do everything, and I get to go watch it all and take part as well."
Does it feel like your child is always glued to a screen? Scouting gets kids out of the house, having fun, and learning practical skills,.
Scouting is committed to inclusivity and diversity, working to create a welcoming and safe environment for all youth.

It now includes girls in its ranks and offers a variety of programs beyond the traditional camping and hiking, like STEM activities and environmental conservation projects.
"Overall, I have had a really positive and fun experience as a girl in Scouts. ...I'm happy that I have the chance to learn how to be a more confident and capable person. I'm just grateful to have the chance to learn new things and meet new people."
