The scouts have recently announced some exciting new programs. The Family Scouting program is now open to boys and girls. By welcoming both girls and boys into the program, even more youth will have access to the character development and values-based leadership that Scouting promises.TheScout Me In campaign features girls, as well as boys, in its iconic Cub Scout program for the first time. Starting this summer, all kids are invited to say, "Scout Me In," as they join the fun, adventure and character-building opportunities found in Cub Scouts.

The Lion Scout program is taking effect for the 2018-2019 program year. Lion Scouts is a fun introduction to the Scouting program for kindergarten-age youth eager to get going! Lions go on adventures with their adult partners and other Lions every month. This program introduces youth and their families to Scouting and the outdoors as it builds a foundation of character. Everything as a Lion is done with an adult partner.

"The Scouting program is applicable to all youth; these program adaptations allow us to serve more youth, engage new families and make an even bigger difference in our communities," said Kevin Buhr.

Scouting embraces the outdoors through camping, hiking and water sports. They also focus on helping the local communities through service projects, STEM development and building confident kids through the wide range of activities. The Cub Scout program is designed to develop physical, mental and emotional fitness. Fitness includes the body (well-tuned and healthy), the mind (able to think and solve problems), and the emotions (self-control, courage, and self-respect).
