Some kids avoid obstacles. Scouts overcome them. Scouts BSA is a year-round program for boys and girls aged 11 through 18 that provides fun, adventure, learning, challenge, and responsibility to help them become the best version of themselves.<\/p>\n

In Scouts BSA, young men and women go places, test themselves, and have one-of-a-kind adventures that can\u2019t be found anywhere else. Scouts BSA is designed to be experienced outdoors but also has a STEM component.<\/p>\n

While hiking, camping, mountain biking, and whitewater rafting are all offered and bring Scouts into the great outdoors, young men and women with a drive for science will learn to develop and hone those skills as well. Scouting America’s STEM initiative encourages the natural curiosity of youth members and their sense of wonder about these fields through existing programs. There is something for everyone in Scouting!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
