Welcome to Scouting!
All boys are welcome to join Boy Scouts between the ages of 11 and 18, or after completing the fifth grade, or Cub Scouts earning the Arrow of Light Award and at least 10 years old. Some boys join Boy Scouts directly from Cub Scouts, but many do not have any scouting background. Older boys are also welcome to join. Within a short time, all boys are a member of a patrol and are working on advancements and skills to prepare them for camping.
