How To Join
Congratulations on your decision to register your child in a Scouting program! By doing so, he or she will have a lot of fun - while being challenged to develop leadership skills in an environment that stresses the importance of moral and ethical behavior.
Parents, a few reminders:
- If your son is in the first grade through fifth grade (or 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age), he will join a Cub Scout pack (boys who have finished Kindergarten can join in June as Tiger Cubs),
- If your son is 10 years old and has completed the fifth grade, or is at least 11 and not yet 18 years old, he may join either a Boy Scout troop or Varsity Scout team (must be at least 14 but not yet 18 to join Varsity Scouts),
- If you son or daughter is at least 14 (and has completed the eighth grade) and not yet 21 years of age, he or she may join a Venturing crew or Sea Scout ship. Effective May 1, 2010, the minimum age requirement will be changed to 14 years of age, or 13 years of age and completion of the eighth grade. The maximum age for participation remains under 21 years of age.
Parents will complete and sign a Cub Scout, Boy Scout or Venturing registration form for their child after meeting the unit leader. Before you do anything, fill out this form and we will contact to help find a unit close to you.
