Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Our Council serves over 7,000 youth and adults in the communities of Erie, Genesee, Livingston, Niagara, Orleans and Wyoming Counties. The Scouting programs include Cub Scouts for youth in grades K-5. Scouts, BSA for youth ages 11 to 17, Venturing, Sea Scouts and Exploring for youth ages 14 to 20.

THE VALUE OF SCOUTING

Discovery is at the heart of Scouting. Whether it’s a campout, derby car race, or hike on the trail, we believe every adventure helps us uncover a little more about ourselves. We build the foundations for humility and compassion—strengthening character through actions—to prepare youth for a lifetime of leadership.


safetySAFE

In Scouting, we will not compromise the safety of our youth, volunteers, and employees. Safety is a value that must be taught and reinforced at every opportunity. We are all responsible and must hold each other accountable to provide a safe environment for all participants.

Diversity

The BSA promotes a culture where youth, volunteers, and employees feel a sense of belonging—where every person feels respected and valued. We welcome families of all backgrounds to help prepare young people to serve as successful members and leaders of our nation’s diverse communities.
