The schools attended by our Scouts include most of the area schools: Van Wyck MS, St. Columba, Unionvale MS, Arlington MS, Millbrook MS, John Jay HS, Ketchem HS, Lourdes, and Arlington HS. They came from all of the elementary schools feeding those middle and high schools.

Scouts BSA

Scouts BSA is the traditional Scouting experience for youth in the fifth grade through high school. It is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. Scouting 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, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The BSA believes — and, through over a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
