Cub Scouts is a year-round program that offers fun activities that promote character and leadership development. Our program is designed to be hands-on, and parents are encouraged to play an active role in our programs. Scouting embraces the outdoors through camping, hiking and water sports. We also focus on helping our communities through service projects, STEM development and building confident kids through our wide range of activities. The Cub Scout program is designed to develop physical, mental and emotional fitness. Fitness includes the body (well-tuned and healthy), the mind (able to think and solve problems), and the emotions (self-control, courage, and self-respect). Scouts BSA: Youth 11-17 years old. This is the traditional Scouting experience for youth in the fifth grade through high school. 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. Through the advancement program, a Scout can progress in rank though achievements, gaining additional knowledge and responsibilities. Earning merit badges provides opportunities for Scouts to be introduced to a lifelong hobby or a rewarding career. In Scouts BSA, youth take responsibility for the activities of the troop. By planning and organizing activities, they develop teamwork and learn to lead as well as follow. Through the support of parents and religious and neighborhood organizations, Scouts develop an awareness and appreciation of their role in their community. VENTURING: Young men and women ages 14-20 (or 13 and completed eighth grade). The purpose of Venturing is to provide experiences to help young people mature and become responsible and caring adults. Young people in Venturing learn leadership skills and participate in challenging outdoor activities. Venturing focuses resources that help a community organization provide wholesome, flexible, well-rounded, challenging activities, tailor-made for teenage youth. Those resources include access to Scout camping properties, a recognition program, youth protection training, and specific program helps for a variety of outdoor disciplines. SEA SCOUTS: Young men and women ages 14-20 (or 13 and completed eighth grade). Sea Scouts was organized to address members’ boating skills and promote knowledge of our maritime heritage. Sea Scout units, called “ships,” focus on sailing and cruising either sailboats or power vessels. During the boating seasons, Sea Scouts learn to maintain and operate the vessel, with a focus on learning the safe and proper methods of handling boats. Sea Scouts also learn the meaning of buoys and lights, how to take advantage of wind and tide, and how to drop anchor or approach a dock. EXPLORING: Young men and women ages 14-20 (or 13 and completed eighth grade). Exploring units, or “posts,” typically focus on a single career field, such as law enforcement, fire/rescue, health care, or skilled trades, and are sponsored by a local government or business entity. Young adults involved in Exploring will gain practical knowledge of and experience in a career, and engage in activities centered on career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character development, and leadership experience to encourage the development of the whole person. They also have opportunities to take on leadership roles; and have a chance to learn and grow in a supportive, caring, and fun environment.
