Scouting America operates a distributed national youth organization with 1,001–5,000 staff managing 2.4 million participants and nearly one million volunteers across programs, camps, and community partnerships.

About Scouting America

Scouting America is one of the largest youth organizations in the United States, serving grades K–12 and young adults through five divisions: Cub Scouting, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouting, and a newer co-ed track. The organization runs four high-adventure bases (Northern Tier, Philmont Scout Ranch, Sea Base, Summit Bechtel Reserve) and delivers programs grounded in outdoor skills, character development, and citizenship training. Beyond camps, Scouting America partners with community organizations to offer career and STEM content (including robotics and conservation). The model depends on dual revenue streams—membership dues and philanthropic giving—and on sustained volunteer engagement across regional councils.
