SCOUTING PROGRAMS | BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA, MID AMERICA COUNCIL
Cub Scouts year-round program uniquely designed to meet the needs of boys and girls in Kindergarten through 5th grade along with their families. Cub Scouting promotes education, character development, and positive self-esteem. Scouts attend weekly meetings, go on camping trips, race their own pinewood derby cars, and help throughout the community. The program promotes outings to local police or fire stations, museums, sporting events (where they learn good sportsmanship), and outdoor adventure.
Scouts BSA leadership and character development program for young men and women ages 11 through 18. With the support of adult leaders, Scouts learn self-confidence and develop personal values guided by the ideals found in Scouting. The program offers outdoor high-adventure through camping trips, long-distance hikes, canoeing, whitewater rafting, and more, which help build leadership and self-reliance skills. Scouts have the opportunity to learn about more than 130 different vocational and academic areas by earning Merit Badges. Some examples are American business, aviation, canoeing, communication, crime prevention, engineering, family life, geocaching, law, personal management, and space exploration.
