STARTING A NEW SCOUTING UNIT
It is the desire of the Boy Scouts of America to make Scouting available to every boy, and in the case of Venturing to every boy and girl ages 14 to 20. If you belong to a community organization or a faith-based organization and would like information about starting a unit, please contact Osage District Director T.J. Foley about the process of establishing a new unit.
The Family of Scouting
- Do you know that Scouting is available for boys from first grade through age 20? Scouting, in the Venturing program is even available for girls.
- Cub Scouting is available for boys in first through fifth grades.
- Boy Scouting is available for boys in sixth through 12th grades, until the age of 18.
- Venturing is available for BOTH boys and girls ages 14 to 20.
If you are interested in looking into how to integrate the full family of Scouting into your organization, feel free to contact DistrictDirector T.J. Foley for more information.
