Cub Scouting is for all youth kindergarten to fifth grade. When you're a kid, fun comes first. Final exams, driver's ed and summer jobs will arrive soon enough. Cub Scouts lets kids have fun while teaching them skills that will help them later on. From the thrill of shooting an arrow to learning how to transform a block of wood into a race car, Cub Scouts is one thrill after another. With a program expertly tailored to match each age in a young child's life, Cub Scouts learn that even when fun isn't easy, it's always an adventure. In Scouting, everything has a purpose. And it shows kids that doing their best is the most fun of all.

Scouts BSA is for all youth 11 to 18. With more than 130 Merit Badges-from Archery and Art to Welding and Wilderness Survival-Scouting is the ultimate form of learning by doing. Scouts explore their interests and improve their skills while working toward Scouting's highest rank: Eagle. By first imagining, planning then doing their own service projects, Scouts learn the value of hard work, and experience the thrill of seeing it pay off. Add in outdoor adventures, hiking, and camping, and Scouting gives youth experiences that will benefit them throughout their life.

Venturing is for all youth 14 to 21. All teens have one moment that opens their eyes to a world that's bigger than they ever imagined. It might happen while paddling a quiet lake, bonding with new friends around a beach bonfire, or rising to the challenge of leading an exhausted crew to the edges of adventure. Venturing gives young men and women access to a range of programs and empowers them to create their own experiences. It brings Scouting values to life through both high-adventure outdoor activities and challenging real-world projects.

Exploring is for all youth 14 to 21. The career decisions youth make in high school can influence the rest of their life. Whether to enter the workforce immediately, attend trade school, or choose a community college or 4-year degree, making these choices can be difficult. Exploring gives young men and women the opportunity to receive hands-on training from working professionals in a career field such as aviation, business, fire & EMS, health care, law enforcement, skilled trades, or social services. All explorers learn valuable communication and professional skills to prepare them not only for applying for their first job, but making those hard career decisions as well.
