Our Mission
The Boy Scouts of America (the BSA) is one of the largest Scouting organizations in the United States of America and one of the largest youth organizations in the United States, with more than 2.4 million youth participants and nearly one million adult volunteers. The BSA was founded in 1910, and since then, more than 110 million Americans have been participants in BSA programs at some time. The BSA is part of the international Scout Movement and became a founding member organization of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1922.
The BSA’s goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations. For younger members, the Scout method is part of the program to instill typical Scouting values such as trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoors skills, through a variety of activities such as camping, aquatics, and hiking. In order to further these outdoor activities, the BSA has four high-adventure bases: Northern Tier (Minnesota, Manitoba, and Ontario), Philmont Scout Ranch (New Mexico), Sea Base (Florida), and Summit Bechtel Reserve (West Virginia).
The traditional Scouting divisions are Cub Scouting for children in grades K-5, Scouts BSA for youth ages 11 to 17 and Venturing and Sea Scouting for young men and women ages 14 (or 13 and having completed the 8th grade) to 20.
Scout Oath or Promise
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
The BSA operates traditional Scouting by chartering local organizations, such as churches, clubs, civic associations, or educational organization, to implement the Scouting program for youth within their communities. Units are led entirely by volunteers appointed by the chartering organization, who are supported by local councils using both paid professional Scouters and volunteers.
If your child is between the ages of 11-18, please check out the website for our two Troops at St. George, Troop 136 (boys) and Troop 1136 (Girls)

Who?
Cub Scouting is for Boys and Girls ages 5 (Kindergarten) through 11 (5th Grade). Cub Scouts work on age-appropriate activities designed to foster practical and personal skills, and encourage lifelong learning into adulthood. Children learn first aid, camping skills, outdoor skills and cooking skills. They also learn the importance of good leadership, sportsmanship, and good citizenship. Through positive interactions with trained and caring adults, children prepare for eventually joining an older youth Troop.
How?
Cub Scout units are called “Packs,” and consist of leaders and all of the children in the unit. Packs meet once a month all together to engage in fun activities, meet with guest speakers and presenters, and take part in Pack-wide activities such as campouts and hikes. Children are also sorted into individual “Dens,” by school grade, and work on Den/age-specific activities to achieve their “Rank,” usually represented by an animal for each grade. Each Den has a leader and co-leader and meets once to three times a month independently.
Why?
Scouting is not just any other extracurricular activity. It is a lifestyle that adopts a sense of community and belonging. Scouting provides many opportunities for growth and development, and also benefits the person into adulthood, with scholarships, travel opportunities, and “Eagle Scout” looks great on a resume! Entire families can participate in Pack events, and through family involvement, advancement opportunities, service and living the Scouting ideals, the child can grow into a well-rounded adult.
