Be a Mentor to Youth with the Boy Scouts of America

We are looking for volunteers to assist in a variety of roles:

• Unit Commissioners: A unit commissioner makes monthly visits (per your own schedule) to Scouting units to help the units succeed in putting on quality programs.  The unit commissioner is usually the unit's first contact for all things involving unit service. The unit may need advice on paperwork or camping properties, for example - a variety of topics.  We provide training to be a unit commissioner.  A familiarity of Scouting is not necessary.
• Unit Leaders:  Unit leaders provide direct service to youths in a Cub Scout Pack (boys in grades 1-5), Boy Scout Troop (boys ages 11-17), or Venturing Crew (co-ed ages 13-20).  Typically, units meet once weekly during the evenings and may have occasional weekend activities.  If you are interested in volunteering for a short-term assignment or on an ongoing basis, please contact us for opportunities.  Training is available.  A familiarity of Scouting is not necessary. 
• Single Activity Volunteers:  Throughout the year, we have single activities (one-day and weekend) where one-time volunteers are needed.  This is a good opportunity for college groups, schools, students, or service organizations.  These include merit badge skill centers (e.g. teaching swimming or robotics skills to youths) and others.  A familiarity of Scouting is not necessary. 

REQUIREMENTS:  All volunteers must be at least 18 years old, submit to a criminal background check, and submit an adult application with the Boy Scouts of America. Registration fee of $15 may be required depending on position (inquire).
