What do Scouts do?

Scouting offers amazing adventures for young men and women. Centered on outdoor activities, like hiking, fishing, shooting sports, handicrafts, climbing, and more, Scouts work toward the coveted Eagle Scout rank in our programs focused on character development, service and citizenship, and physical and mental wellness.

Scouts, young men and women ages eleven to seventeen, work on ranks, the requirements for which emphasize core Scouting values. While working the ranks to achieve the pinnacle of Eagle Scout, Scouts also explore dozens of careers, vocations, and hobbies through the incredible merit badge program.

Where will my child start?

All Scouts, regardless of starting age, begin at the same place, the Scout rank, where the basics of Scouting are mastered. Progressing through the ranks, new requirements for service, enrichment, challenge, and adventure are presented!

Scout Troops and Meetings

Scouts are members of a troop. Troops are attached to a chartering organization, usually a church, school, or community organization, and meet weekly. There are a number of troops in the Mid-South, and you can find one by searching the BeAScout Web page, embedded at the end of this page!
