Before you come
Explore our activity examples and new-family questions to get familiar with the program.
Think about what your scout would like to try and what you would like to learn.
Whether your scout is new to scouting, coming from a Cub Scout pack, or transferring from
another troop, bring questions about the next step in their journey.
While you are here
Meet scouts and adult leaders and see how a troop meeting works. Ask about patrols,
first-year activities, and how new scouts learn the skills to get outdoors.
Bring your questions about family involvement, equipment, costs, and fitting scouting
around school and other commitments.
When you are ready
Talk with leaders about current registration requirements and next steps. Ask what your
scout needs to get started before purchasing uniforms or camping equipment.
Our new-family questions
cover common topics to help you prepare for that conversation.
