SCOUTING PROGRAMS

The Boy Scouts of America programs provide a complete foundation to allow our youth to develop into well-rounded individuals, with skills they will utilize throughout their lifetime. Scouting is not only an exciting adventure, but it has the aims of (1) providing growth in moral strength and character, (2) teaching participating citizenship for proper relationships to others & the community and (3) developing physical, mental and emotional fitness.

The Scouting programs include - Tiger Cubs (1st-grade), Cubs Scouts (grades 2-3), Webelos (grades 4-5), Boy Scouts (ages 11-18), Venturers (male & female ages 14-21), Learning for Life (K-12 & special-needs youth) and Exploring (career development ages 14-21).
