Why Join Scouting?

By registering your child in a Scouting program, they will have a lot of fun – while being challenged to develop leadership skills in an environment that stresses the importance of moral and ethical behavior.

If your son or daughter is in kindergarten through fifth grade (or 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age), they will join a Cub Scout pack.

If your son or daughter is 10 years old in 5th grade but who had not completed AOL can register with a Troop after March 1, or is at least 11 and not yet 18 years old, they may join either a Scouts BSA troop.

If your son or daughter is at least 14 (and has completed the eighth grade) and not yet 21 years of age, they may join a Venturing crew or Sea Scout ship.
