Scouts take part in camping, hiking, paddling, and high-adventure experiences while exploring personal interests through more than 130 Merit Badges. Along the way, they learn how to lead, make decisions, and work as a team.

As Scouts progress, they plan and carry out meaningful service projects and work toward Scouting America’s highest rank, Eagle Scout. Through real world challenges, Scouts learn perseverance, responsibility, and what it truly means to live the values of being helpful, friendly, courteous, and kind.

Venturing (Ages 14 - 20)

A dynamic program for young men and woman who are ready to push their limits and explore what’s possible. Venturers take part in high-adventure experiences like backpacking, paddling, climbing, and travel, while also building strong friendships and leadership skills along the way.

What makes Venturing unique is that the youth lead the way, planning their own adventures, setting goals, and tackling real world projects that matter to them. Through these experiences, Venturers put Scouting values into action, grow in confidence, and discover new perspectives on leadership, service, and adventure.

Exploring (Ages 14 - 20)

Explorers learn directly from professionals in the field, gaining practical skills, mentorship, and insight into real world workplaces. Along the way, they begin building valuable connections and professional networks that can help guide future education and career decisions.
