Join as a Young Person (Ages 4 – 25)

Scouting is all about fun, friendship, and finding your adventure — whatever that means to you.

We welcome young people from ages 4 to 25, and there’s something for everyone. From climbing and kayaking to coding and community projects, Scouts offers the chance to try new things, build confidence, and make lifelong friends.
