Do you enjoy new challenges? Do you enjoy being outdoors?

Most people associate Boy Scouting with outdoor adventure-and with good reason. Scouting is an outdoor program designed to develop character, citizenship, and fitness. With the Scout Oath and Law as a guide, Scouting helps a boy develop into a well-rounded young man. Through the advancement program, a Scout can progress in rank through achievements, gaining additional knowledge and responsibilities. Older boys mentor younger boys and the knowledge is passed along.

At each level Scouts earn merit badges which provide opportunities for Scouts to be introduced to a lifelong hobby or a rewarding career. In Boy Scouting, youth take responsibility for the activities of the troop. By planning and organizing activities, they develop teamwork and learn to lead as well as follow. Through the support of parents, religious and neighborhood organizations, Scouts develop an awareness and appreciation of their role in their community.

Be Prepared. It’s more than a motto, it’s a way of life. Being prepared means having the ability to deal with the many tough challenges life presents-that’s what Scouting is all about. Through it’s time-tested program, Scouting provides young people with opportunities to mentor to their peers, build character, and enrich their faith. These activities build stronger family bonds and help youth reach their full potential by instilling values that last a life time.

Membership requirements:
Boy Scouts is available to boys who have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10 but not yet 18 years old – even if you have never been involved in scouting before. The program achieves the BSA’s objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness.
