Scouting is a program with a purpose. It is a way for youth to gain strong ethics, moral fiber, and duty to God, all while learning valuable skills and developing future leaders. The world has changed, but the basic concepts of Scouting have remained constant, with values, aims, and methods that continue to mold youth into exceptional adults.

The Scouts BSA program is for Youth ages 11-17.

The Cub Scouts program is for Boys & Girls in Grades K to 5 .

At this time, both of these programs at St. Joseph are accepting Boys and Girls.
