Scouting is for boys & girls who are 11, (or are at least ten years old and have completed the fifth grade or have earned the Cub Scout Arrow of Light Award) through 17 years old. Scouts experience a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster to achieve the BSA's objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness. Camping, Watersports, Snowsports, Hiking, Survival skills, all that while they have their best fun in life with their scout friends. Scouting is an adventure of a lifetime, that a scout will never forget. Once a Scout, Always a Scout!
