Great Alaska Council, Boy Scouts of America

This is the traditional Scouting experience (previously called Boy Scouts) for young women and men in the fifth grade through high school. Service, community engagement, and leadership development become increasingly important parts of the program as youth lead their own activities and work their way toward earning Scouting’s highest rank, Eagle Scout. While there is guidance from experienced leaders, Scouts take their own lead, exploring places they've never been as they dive into the rugged world of outdoor adventure. With a spirit of teamwork, they pack up their Scout gear and their sense of adventure, and dive into the learning and excitement that comes from being a part of this amazing program.

Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 14 years of age OR 13 years of age and have completed the eighth grade and under 21 years of age. Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults, with an emphasis in adventure, leadership, personal growth, and service.

ScoutReach program provides Scouting program from leadership to program supplies for high-risk, low-income youth in the Great Alaska Council.

Exploring is an interactive, work site-based career education program of Learning for Life, an affiliate of the Boy Scouts of America. The program serves youth in 6th-8th grades (Explorer Clubs) and young men and women who are 14 through 20 years old (Explorer Posts). Exploring units, called "clubs" and "posts", are sponsored by local businesses, government agencies and organizations and usually focus on a single career field, but can also introduce youth to a variety of career fields within a single unit.
