JOIN SCOUTING
Boy Scouts of America offers terrific programs that help youth grow their character, citizenship and fitness (mental, moral and physical).
- For boys in the 1st - 5th grade, the program is called Cub Scouts, and they are organized into groups called packs, which are typically organized near a school or house of worship.
- For boys in the 6th-12th grade, the program is called Boy Scouts, and they are organized into groups called troops.
- For girls and boys in high school, there are additional programs. Venturers are organized into crews. Explorers are organized into posts.
For more information on joining Boy Scouts of America or finding a unit in the Fremont, Union City, Newark area, contact Steve Armstrong starmstr@comcast.net or Joe Barton joeb@sfbac.org. A list of open units and their meeting notes is posted on our About page.
