Uniform checklist

If you're between the ages of 7 and 20, you might be interested in one of the Scouting programs. If you're a parent, you might be interested in being selected as a Scout Leader. Scouting offers a time-tested set of activities that have produced fine citizens, family men, and community leaders for over 95 years.

 

Cub Scouts


 Tiger Cubs are for boys in the first grade. They work with an adult partner to have fun and discover new things. Tiger meetings are set by the parents and they have a Tiger Cub Den Leader to help guide the program.   Contact Mike Anastasio at 341-8611 ext. 23.
 

 


Cub Scouts are for boys in the first through fifth grades (ages 6 to 10). It's a family- and home-centered program. They do fun things with other kids! They wear cool uniforms, go places and see things. They play all kinds of sports and build things. They can learn about secret codes, the environment, and provide service to other people.  Contact Jim Matthews at 341-8611 ext. 21.
 
 

 
 
When a Cub Scout reaches the 4th and 5th grade, he becomes a WEBELOS (WE'll BE LOyal Scouts) Scout. During this two-year program the Cub Scout participates in more advanced activities that begin to prepare them to become Boy Scouts.  Contact Jim Matthews at 341-8611 ext. 21.
 
 
                                          Boy Scouts
 

Boy Scouts is available to boys who are 11 through 18 years of age, or who have earned the Arrow of Light Award and have completed the fifth grade. They camp, hike, and fish in the great outdoors. They get together in troops, and try out new experiences. They learn leadership skills while working as a group.  Contact Jim Matthews at 341-8611 ext. 21.
 


 

Varsity Scouting is an active, exciting program for young men 14 through 17 built around five program fields of emphasis: advancement, high adventure, personal development, service, and special programs and events.   Contact Jim Matthews at 341-8611 ext. 21.
 
 
 
 

Venturing offers a program that is full of challenge with adventure for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age. They learn more about high adventure, sports, arts and hobbies, youth ministries, or Sea Scouting. In addition to non-scouts, this program may be especially attractive to older Boy Scouts that are seeking a greater challenge, or have attained the rank of Eagle Scout.  Contact Jim Matthews at 341-8611 ext 21.
 
 
 

Exploring is the young adult segment of Learning for Life, a wholly owned subsidary of the Boy Scouts of America.
