COME AND JOIN SCOUTING
Scouting promises you the great outdoors. You can learn how to camp and hike without leaving a trace and how to take care of the land. You’ll study wildlife up close and learn about nature all around you. There are plenty of skills for you to master, and you can teach others what you have learned.
To find a Scouting unit near you, and begin your adventure, visit BeAScout.org or call the council service center at 260.432.9593 or 800.272.2922.
