Scouts BSA
If your child craves excitement and adventure while developing their character and understanding of themselves and the world, Golden Gate Area Council-Scouting America can help. We offer youth the opportunity to participate and grow in the Scouts BSA program in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. This program is available to youth between the ages of 11* and 17. We can help you find a troop that meets your needs.
Perks of Participating in Scouts BSA
Scouting America offers youth various opportunities to develop new skills and expertise in a wide array of activities, including archery, camping, hiking, wilderness survival, and fishing. They also get to volunteer and contribute to their communities and nature while enjoying camaraderie with their fellow scouts. All this hard work and learning pays off in multiple ways as they continue in the scouting program.
Troops in the Golden Gate Area Council Await You
Golden Gate Area Council-Scouting America encourages youth to get involved with their local troop today to explore the many activities and opportunities they have available. Excitement, growth, and camaraderie are just a few benefits you will gain when you join.
