CUB SCOUTS:
AGES 5 TO 10

Cub Scouting is fun for the whole family.  In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right now selves and grow into their very best future selves. It’s fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life.
SCOUTS BSA:
AGES 11 TO 17

Scouts BSA is the traditional Scouting experience for youth. Service, community engagement and leadership development become increasingly important parts of the program as youth lead their own activities and work their way toward earning Scouting’s highest rank, Eagle Scout.

VENTURING:
AGES 14 TO 21
Three people wearing helmets and harnesses are smiling and standing together outdoors.
Venturing is youth-led and youth-inspired. You’ll acquire life skills and gain experiences that will prove to be valuable regardless of where your future takes you, all while having a blast: leadership, event-planning, organization, communication, responsibility – the list goes on!
SEA SCOUTS:
AGES 14 TO 21

EXPLORING:
AGES 14 TO 21
