UNDATED – More than 700 young people are involved in Scouting across our region, with local leaders saying the program continues to make a difference in the community.

“It teaches you good morals and it helps our youth grow into responsible and very capable members of society.”
While participation dipped during the pandemic, Griffin says Scouting is rebounding, giving local kids opportunities to develop leadership skills, volunteer in their communities, and build lifelong skills.
