Your Son, Scouting and You

As a parent, you want your son to grow up to be a person of worth, a self-reliant, dependable and caring individual. Scouting has these same goals in mind for him. Since 1910, we have been weaving lifetime values into fun and educational activities designed to assist parents in strengthening character, good citizenship and physical fitness in youth.

Scouting IS family values. However, Cub Scout age boys do not join just to build character. Boys join Cub Scouting because IT IS FUN!!

Scouting is Fun with a Purpose!

Statistics show that over the long term, boys and young men who have experienced Scouting’s programs are more likely to have success in school, career and family, as well as stronger ethics and better relationships with others. For example:

Boys with 5 or more years in Scouting (98%) are more likely to graduate from high school than those who never were Scouts (83%).

Former Scouts (40%) are also more likely to be college graduates than non-Scouts (16%).
