Scouting is a fun, hands-on way for youth to learn new skills, make friends, and grow into leaders. Here’s how to get your Scout started in northern Maine:
Visit the Be A Scout website and search by your zipcode to find units near you.
Reach out to the leaders of the unit(s) you’re interested in. Ask about meeting times, locations, activities, and any questions you have about joining.
Arrange to visit a meeting, campout, or activity to see if it’s a good fit for your child. Meet the leaders, Scouts, and other parents — each unit has its own personality, so check out more than one if possible.
Fill out the Youth Application form, which can be downloaded from the link below or obtained directly from the unit leader.
Turn in the completed application to your unit leader. Pay the registration fee, which varies by unit. There may also be additional costs for uniforms, activities, or trips.
Once registered, your new unit leader will provide you with the schedule, meeting locations, and calendar of events.
