Scouts BSA isn’t just a program—it’s a journey, and it’s youth-led every step of the way. As an adult volunteer, you’re not just supervising—you’re part of the adventure! You’ll guide, support, and learn alongside Scouts as they explore the great outdoors, tackle new challenges, and grow into confident leaders.
Whether you're sharing a favorite hobby or picking up a brand-new skill, every adult has something meaningful to contribute. One weekend, you might find yourself teaching the Swimming Merit Badge at the lake, or helping Scouts earn their Hiking Merit Badge on the trail, hiking five miles through scenic terrain with another leader, or swapping stories around the campfire while learning to clean and cook fresh-caught fish.
It’s not just the Scouts who grow. As a volunteer, you’ll gain leadership experience, learn practical outdoor and survival skills, and make memories that last a lifetime! Every training, every campout, and every badge earned is a shared victory!
