Scouts BSA (and Cub Scouts for younger youth) is a great way to help prepare your son or daughter to make positive ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes. The Boy Scouts of America helps to prepare youth to become responsible, participating citizens and leaders who are guided by these positive ethical and moral values. Scouts BSA is for boys and girls in 6th grade, or approximately 10 years of age to age 18. Troop 242 is part of the Greater Colorado Council.
