Scouting in San Juan County
Posted November 14, 2018 at 8:27 am by Tim Dustrude
In recent months the Boy Scouts of America, has made several radical changes.
Scouting (BSA) as it is now called, has changed from a program only for boys to one for that includes both boys and girls. In San Juan County, there are currently two active programs, Troop 4090 (ages 10-18) and Sea Scout Ship 4013 (14-21). A new Cub Scout Pack is currently being planned (ages 7-11).
For those unfamiliar with the Scouting program, it provides training and character building in: Leadership, Outdoors, First Aid, Camping, Home Repairs, Hiking and much much more.
Sea Scouting includes all of these but also helps your son/daughter towards a career in the maritime industries.
If you are interested in learning more about any of these programs, please contact the Scouting Unit Commissioner, Eric Stone at: [email protected]
