About Our Company
Empowering Scouts to Lead and Explore
Greater Los Angeles Scouting provides educational programs for youth and young adults that build character, citizenship, and personal fitness. Since our founding in 1915, the Greater Los Angeles Area Council has brought its purpose and values to millions of youth.
The Scouting program facilitates meaningful contact and communication between youth, parents, and other community organizations (partners) to help young people adopt strong values and life skills. Our program presents fun, engaging, and valuable experiences directed at the maturity and interests of young people at their appropriate age and ability levels.
