Glacier's Edge Council, Scouting America, delivers the promise of Scouting to over 3,000 girls and boys in 16 counties of south central Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Cub Scouting (K - 5 girls/boys)
Cub Scouting provides youth with a program of communication, education, achievement, and fun that involves the parent and family. The Lion-Cub program for kindergarteners provides structured opportunities for youth and their parents or other adults to spend quality time together learning more about the world, the community, and themselves. In turn, they enjoy projects, activities, and fellowship in a group of adults. It is a continuation of Cub Scouting that involves the youth more in the dynamics of the small peer-group, the impact of the adult role-model becomes strong, and the program includes overnight camping. Scouts BSA (formerly known as Boy Scouts)(11 through 17-year-old girls/boys)
The Scouts BSA program involves the youth more heavily in small peer group dynamics with the adult-role model becoming more significant. The program revolves around leadership opportunity; decision-making; hiking; camping; and personal achievement. Youth are exposed to over 120 hobby and career choices, frequently resulting in life-long involvement. Venturing (14 through 20 year-old men and women)
