Your son is joining more than four million members of the Boy Scouts of America. Please take time to review this very important information so that your son’s Scouting experience will be the best it can be with your help.\u003Cbr>Whether you are new to the Scouting experience or an experienced helper, we want you to be a part of this experience with your son. Your son needs your involvement in the activities he will experience. He needs your help to stay on top of the things he will be asked to learn. In the Scouting experience, you have a wonderful opportunity to share life with your son in a way that many parents miss and often regret later.\u003Cbr>Scouting is a challenge, and the tasks are often time consuming and hard. But the time invested in your son’s life (and in the lives of the other boys) leads to a priceless treasure in the harvest we see as these boys blossom into fine young men.\u003Cbr>As fellow parents we want to get to know you, to become your supporters and encouragers as you try to help your son in Scouts. We will be available to you in any way we can.
