Boy Scouting, one of three membership divisions of the BSA (the others are Cub Scouting and Exploring), is available to boys who have earned the Arrow of Light Award or have completed the fifth grade or who are 11 through 17 years old.  The program achieves BSA’s objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness qualities among youth by focusing on a vigorous program of outdoor activities.

Volunteer Scouters:

Thousands of volunteer leaders, both men and women, are involved in the Boy Scout program. They serve in a variety of jobs-everything from unit leaders to chairmen of troop committees, committee members, merit badge counselors, and chartered organization representatives.

Like other phases of the program, Boy Scouting is made available to community organizations having similar interests and goals. Chartered organizations include professional organizations; governmental bodies; and religious, educational, civic, fraternal, business, labor, and citizens’ groups.  Each organization appoints one of its members as the chartered organization representative.  The organization is responsible for leadership, the meeting place, and support for troop activities.

If you would like to be a volunteer with the Orange County Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America, please contact the council office at (714) 546-4990.
