Joining Scouting isn’t just about fun — it’s about growing together as a family while helping your child build a foundation for life. As a parent, you want to give your child every opportunity to grow into a confident, capable, and caring adult. Scouting helps make that possible by offering experiences that shape young people in ways that schools and sports alone often can’t. Through hands-on activities, outdoor adventures, and community service, Scouting teaches valuable life skills like leadership, problem-solving, responsibility, and teamwork — all while building confidence and character.
When your child joins Scouting, they step into a world of adventure and discovery. Whether they’re hiking through the woods, building a campfire, learning how to navigate a trail, or giving back through service projects, Scouts are constantly encouraged to try new things, overcome challenges, and develop independence. These moments create not only lifelong memories but also the resilience and determination that will serve them in school, relationships, and future careers.
Family Activity
Scouting is one of the few activities where the whole family can participate together. Parents, siblings, and caregivers are welcome at meetings, outings, and events — building memories and stronger bonds along the way.
Character & Confidence
Scouting helps kids develop essential values like responsibility, honesty, leadership, and perseverance — all while having a blast. They gain the confidence to try new things, make friends, and overcome challenges in a safe, encouraging environment.
Outdoor Adventure & Discovery
From hiking and camping to STEM experiments and service projects, Scouts explore the world around them. It’s hands-on learning that gets them off screens and into real experiences that stick with them for life.
Life Skills
Scouts learn practical skills like teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, communication, and even money management. These aren’t just badges — they’re tools for success at school, at home, and later in life.
Community & Belonging
Scouting brings families into a supportive local community that shares common values and a spirit of service. Through shared challenges and exciting activities, Scouts form deep, lasting friendships.
Lifelong Friendships
In an environment that promotes respect, kindness, and inclusion, your child will meet peers from different backgrounds. These friendships, built on teamwork and shared experiences, often last long after their time in the program ends.
Fun with a Purpose
Every activity in Scouting is designed to be engaging, active, and meaningful. Whether it’s racing a Pinewood Derby car, building a birdhouse, or learning first aid, kids are always learning — even when they don’t realize it.
