Be a Mentor to Youth with Boy Scouts of America

  • Organization: Boy Scouts of America
  • Causes: Educational, Health, Kids
  • Date(s): One Hour Per Week
  • Contact person: Mark Hays
  • Phone: 314-550-4233
  • Email: Mark.Hays@Scouting.org
  • Website: www.​stlbsa.​org

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

  • 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 interesed 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).  

ABOUT BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA:  The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA 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 Boy Scouts of America believes — and, through over a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.

I thought the age limit was 21 to be volunteer except for assistant scoutmasters or college reserve.

Any adult 18 years of age or older can volunteer. There are numerous opportunities within the Boy Scouts of America to support children, whether for a one-day activity or an ongoing commitment.
