We need people that have different skills from different backgrounds. Whether your specialty is working with youths, fundraising, setting up meetings, event planning, counseling or fishing, we would love to have you join our team.
We ask for a one year minimum commitment and in return we will provide you with all the training and support you need to be successful.
Many of our volunteers have stayed involved for numerous years because of their passion to help youths and the fun they have.

The 3 Rivers District Boy Scout Roundtable held its annual Boy Scout Open House which encourages WEBELOS scouts, leaders and parents the opportunity to visit different Troops in the area. This year there were 16 Troops present from all over the Three Rivers District.
The youth from the troops highlighted what they did, where they were located, what activities they partake in and where they summer camp. Displays ranged from poster boards, power point slide shows, making ice cream and kitchen spoon ballista launching marsh-mellows.
This is the fourth year for the event and continues to grow each year. This year, over 100 WEBELOS, leaders and parents attended the event.
