We help youth from ages 5-20 achieve self-confidence, integrity and ethical awareness while improving their personal fitness and skills. Focusing on the Scout Oath and Law, it is our goal to provide a fun, interactive environment for youth while cultivating the future leaders of America.

Scouts BSA
Youth Ages 11-17
Adolescents and teens ages 11-17 can advance their Scouting skills as members of Scouts BSA. This is the traditional Scouting experience, which is youth-led and inspires leadership, self-discovery, service and community engagement. Young women and men are welcome to join Scouts BSA.
Eagle Scout/Projects
Earn the highest advancement in the Scouts BSA program as an Eagle Scout. Only a small percentage of Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, an accomplishment in itself. Completing the Eagle Service Project helps young men and women contribute to their community and gain lasting leadership skills.
