Scouting builds leaders. It teaches them to seek out challenges, and lead others in overcoming them. Many Scouts achieve more by the age of 18 than some people do in a lifetime. Former Scouts sit on the boards of global corporations, walk the halls of the White House, and have been known to occasionally go hiking on the moon. The lessons youth learn in Scouting prepare them for their lifelong journey to improve themselves and their communities. For more than 100 years, Scouting leaders have helped build character and conviction: one badge at a time, one challenge at a time, and one adventure at a time. Scouting provides life-changing experiences that cannot be found with any other youth organization, and the Orange County Council is dedicated to bringing these experiences to more youth for generations to come.
COMMUNITYIMPACT Do a good turn daily. That’s the Scout slogan. It is also the philosophy of the nearly 10,000 adult volunteers who run the Scouting program in Orange County. It’s their dedication to service that powers the Scouting movement and sets the example for our Scouts to go out and improve our communities.

Only 7% of Scouts complete the required 21 merit badges, an extensive service project, and the board of review required to earn the rank.
