Learn More about Scouts
Scouts BSA is for youth ages 11–17 who are ready for adventure, leadership, and hands‑on learning in the outdoors. It’s a program built around developing character, confidence, and real‑world skills through camping, teamwork, service, and youth‑led leadership.
Scouts learn how to plan outings, lead their patrols, master outdoor skills, and work toward ranks culminating in Eagle Scout. Whether a Scout is brand‑new to the outdoors or already an experienced adventurer, Scouts BSA offers a place to grow, challenge themselves, and be part of a supportive troop community. Troop 221 welcomes all youth in this age range who want to explore the outdoors, build leadership skills, and have fun doing it. You can learn more about Boy Scouts of America at the BSA website. |
