When you join the Boy Scouts of America, Scouting is like an extension of your family: It follows your values, it sees to the overall care and well-being of your child, and it’s always there for you. It’s not an either/or choice you have to make for your child. It works with you to let you manage your time and other activities and will always be there when you return.
To sign you and your son up for Scouting, please download the appropriate form below and bring the completed form to the Southwest Michigan Council, or view meeting days and locations for Scouting units near you by clicking the appropriate County link on the left.
