What Is Scoutreach?

Scoutreach helps make Scouting accessible through community partnerships, financial support, and trained program staff.

Our vision: Give every eligible young person in our council’s communities the opportunity to experience Scouting.

Who We Serve

We serve elementary-age boys and girls through Cub Scouts, and middle and high school youth through Scouts BSA.

Weekly meetings and outings help Scouts build character, learn new skills, and earn advancement.

How We Serve

Programs are delivered through community, after-school, and remote settings, with support tailored to each location.

Support includes staff, meeting supplies, T-shirts, uniform access, and equipment for outings and camping.
