Help Your Child Look Up, Step Out, and Discover Who They Can Become
Scouting gives kids the chance to step outside, try new things, and discover who they are becoming.
Today’s world pulls kids inward, toward screens, comparison, and constant noise.
Scouting offers something far more powerful: real experiences that help young people build confidence, character, and a sense of purpose.
Why Scouting?
Why Families Choose Scouting
Scouting is built around real-world experiences that help kids grow, not through screens, but through action.
More Than an Activity: A Place to Belong
Scouting America gives kids something no app ever will:
Belonging. Purpose. Adventure. Leadership. Character.
These are the experiences that help the youth in the community to look up, step out, and move forward with confidence.
Back to the Trail
Scouting units meet locally throughout San Diego County and welcome families from all backgrounds. Units are led by trained adult volunteers and supported by a nationwide organization with more than a century of experience in youth development.
Finding a unit near you is simple and takes just a moment.
