PROGRAMS
The Northeast Georgia Council
of the Boy Scouts of America can help you find the right
Scouting program for you right in your neighborhood.
Youth
Which program is right for you?
- Cub Scouts is for boys ages 7 through 10, or grades first through fifth.
- Boy Scouts is for boys ages 11 through 17.
- Varsity Scouting is for boys ages 14 through 17.
- Venturing is for boys and girls ages 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20.
There are Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops, Varsity Teams, and Venturing Crews all over Northeast Georgia. Contact the Service Center nearest you and ask for assistance locating a Scout Unit that meets near you.
What do you do if there is no Scout Unit near your home? Check out the Lone Scout program. If this program is for you, contact the Council Office for more information.
Volunteer Leaders
Scouting works because of the many adults that volunteer their time and energy to make a difference in the
lives of youth as Scout Leaders. Enthusiastic adult volunteers are always needed to work directly with
young people and behind-the-scenes. To be a Scout Leader you must be at least 18 years old (21 for
Venturing). Contact the Service Center nearest you, tell them you are interested in volunteering as
an adult leader and ask for assistance locating a Scout Unit that meets near you.
Professionals
Interested in a career as a Scouting Professional? If so, please contact the
Council Office for more information.
