Why Should You Join Scouting?
Scouts become a part of a team of their peers in a patrol. In the patrol they learn to work together and practice leadership. Scouts BSA is a youth led organization. The scouts are actively involved in the functions of a troop, including the planning and organization of trips, food planning and preparation, and making sure they have the needed equipment and gear. Scouting develops friendships, social skills, and confidence.
While much of scouting is done outdoors, the skills learned will help scouts be more self reliant and resourceful in other aspects of life as well.
