Scouting America is one of the largest youth organizations in the United States, with over 2.4 million youth participants and nearly one million adult volunteers. Founded in 1910, it has a long history of fostering responsible citizenship, character development, and self‑reliance in youth through diverse outdoor activities, educational programs, and partnerships with community organizations. The organization offers age‑specific programs, such as Cub Scouting, Scouts BSA, and Venturing, for youth ranging from kindergarten to age 20.
