Traditional scouting program - traditional scouting program total youth members served in 2022 were 9,066. Beginning in kindergarten, youth may join our lion Scouts program and learn about the outdoors, build crafts and develop their social skills. In the first grade, they become cub Scouts and become more active in outdoor programs, including camping, and are more involved in community service. After the fifth grade, they transition into Boy Scouts and experience more of the outdoors and learn about their role as young adults in their family and community. Young men and women aged 14 - 20 have an opportunity to take part in a high-adventure program called venturing and engage in more challenging outdoor activities such as white water rafting and alpine trekking.
