Boy Scouting is for boys who are 11 or are at least 10 1/2 years old and have completed the fifth grade or have earned the Cub Scout Arrow of Light Award, through 17 years old.  Boys experience a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster to achieve the BSA's objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness. Camping, fun with friends -- and more. It’s the adventure of a lifetime.
