SARTELL, Minn. — The Boy Scouts of America reintroduced itself as Scouting America in May, and since then, the organization has been hard at work recruiting.
Gerry Granum, Scout executive from the Central Minnesota Council, visited KARE 11 News at Noon to share more about the work.
Scouting America teaches children outdoors skills such as camping and fishing, but also advanced skills such as rocketry, robotics and coding. The program also aims to teach kids self-sufficiency and kindness.
So who is eligible to join? Scouting programs are open to children in kindergarten through adults at age 20. Click here for more information.
Fall is a great time to get your child into Scouting, as Central Minnesota Council is hosting New Cub Scout Day for kindergarten through fifth grade on Sept. 28. There will be fun activities from 1-3 p.m. at the Council Office on 1191 Scout Dr., Sartell.
