ScoutsBSA (Ages 11-17)
The ScoutsBSA program (formerly “Boy Scouts”) is made up of groups called Troops. These are entirely either boys, or girls ages 11-17.
Where ScoutsBSA stands out is as a youth-run program, with adults guiding them along the way to learn valuable leadership skills. There are all kinds of adventures, including camping, rafting, climbing, and backpacking, as well as opportunities to learn skills through the incredible array of Merit Badges ranging from Programming to Personal Fitness, to Music and more.
Within a Troop, youth are divided into patrols, lead by a Scout called the “Patrol Leader.” This structure helps develop leadership skills through outdoor adventure.
- If you haven’t already, connect with your Troop’s leaders to ensure you are getting all communications.
