Are You New to Scouts?
Welcome to the Black Swamp Area Council!
The Boy Scouts of America is the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training. Scouting is unique because it allows entry at any age, from Kindergarten aged youth on up, and at any skill level in a child’s development. Scouting also has longevity. It is common for several members of the same family, even generations, to follow each other into Scouting. And it’s not unusual to find Scouts who have made a 10- to 12-year commitment to Scouting. Scouting’s vision and promise will continue to:
- Offer young people responsible fun and adventure
- Instill in young people lifetime values and develop in them ethical character as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law
- Train young people in citizenship, service and leadership
- Serve America’s communities and families with its quality, values-based program
