Today's Scouting is more inclusive, more relevant, and more engaging than ever before — without losing the values that have helped shape countless young people for the last century. The activities may change, but one thing never will: Scouting offers experiences that are built for fun and designed for growth.
Parents are welcome and encouraged to participate as adult leadership, counselors, and mentors for their Scouts and others. Scouts in this program gain independence and leadership as they progress.
As part of its "Scouts First" approach to the protection and safety of youth, Scouting America has established a dedicated 24-hour helpline to receive reports of known or suspected abuse or behavior that might put a youth at risk: 1-844-SCOUTS1 (1-844-726-8871). Use it anytime you believe a youth has been harmed or their safety and wellbeing is at risk. If a youth is bullied because of race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or disability, and local help is unable to resolve the problem, the helpline is also available.
