Boy Scouts get away from it all! They camp, hike, and fish in the great outdoors. They get together in troops, and try out new experiences. Boy Scouting is available to boys who are 11 through 17 years old, or who have earned the Arrow of Light Award, and have completed the fifth grade.

For information about Boy Scouting, review the following resources. Then, use the Local Council Locator to find out whom to contact to join or start a unit in your area.
