Scouting America (Boy Scouts of America) is one of the nation’s largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. It provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
For over a century, Scouting America has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. Scouting America believes — and, through over a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society. Headquartered in Sartell, the Central Minnesota Council, Scouting America serves youth and families within 12 counties of Central Minnesota and provides quality outdoor experiences at Parker Scout Camp on North Long Lake near Nisswa, Minnesota.
