Scouting in San Francisco

Adventure Awaits in Every Neighborhood

Imagine exploring San Francisco’s hidden trails, learning lifelong skills, and building friendships that last—all while discovering the power of community and adventure through Scouting. Since 1910, Scouting has been woven into the fabric of San Francisco, welcoming families from all backgrounds to embark on this journey together. Designed for everyone—siblings, parents, and friends alike—Scouting creates an inclusive community where young people grow into respectful and valued leaders, ready to shape a diverse tomorrow.

From hiking in the Presidio, attending Scout Day at the ballpark, day camps on the beach, kayaking on the Bay, and summers in the Redwoods—Scouting offers new experiences at every turn. With programs spanning from Kindergarten through young adulthood, Scouting is open to all. Be a part of something bigger in a city known for pushing boundaries—where city kids become tomorrow’s leaders.
