Whichever kind of kid you are, you're gonna like the Boy Scouts. From learning to build a fire and reading a compass to paddling a canoe and perfecting the best cannonball. While school may have recess and sports, we've got the great outdoors. As a Scout, you'll find not all fields have scoreboards and bleachers or lines painted on them. Out here it's you versus nature. And we'll teach you how to win every time.

You'll discover that the merit badges you can earn are a lot different than the classes you take in school. Imagine rifle shooting, climbing, fishing and backpacking! You see, Scouting isn't just about reading stuff...it's about doing stuff. The kind of stuff you probably never thought your parents would let you do.
