YOUTH PROGRAMS
For more than a century, the Boy Scouts of America has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. We believe – and, through more than a century of experience, know – that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible and productive society.

There are many reasons why young adults should be interested in Sea Scouts. Being on the water and learning to operate a boat powered by wind is a traditional rewarding experience.
