Preparing Youth
For The Real World
Scouts BSA provides older youth with the skills they need to succeed at home, with friends and family, and within their community.
Lead With Your Peers
While Scouting has adult leadership, your child is encouraged to take action alongside their peers. Whether it’s on a campout or at a Troop meeting, your child will learn what it means to be a leader.
Explore the World
Adventure awaits with Scouting. Whether your child visits one of our amazing camps, or travel abroad to World Jamboree, Scouting encourages your child to explore the world and all it has to offer.
Hear From A Scout
Scouting is a place to meet yourself—to try new things that you’ve never been able to do before. Suddenly, Scouting makes it available to you.
