In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right now selves and grow into their very best future selves. It's fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life. Scouts BSA, 11-17 years: Scouts BSA is the traditional Scouting e xpe rie nce . Se rvice , community engagement and leadership development become increasingly important parts of the program as youth lead their own activities and work their way toward earning Scouting's highest rank, Eagle Scout. Venturing, 14-20 years: Venturing is youth-led and youth-inspired. Youth acquire life skills and gain experiences that will prove to be valuable regardless of where the future takes them, all while having a blast: leadership, event-planning, organization, communication, responsibility – the list goes on! r e a d I n g t O n r a M B l e S : S t O r I e S F r O M t h e h I S t O r y O F r e a d I n g t O n t O W n S h I P l e c t u r e a t t h e B O u M a n - S t I c k n e y F a r M S t e a d Sundays, August 7 and 14 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., in partnership with www.Hunterdon300th.org, County Historian Emerita, and Readington Township Historian Extraordinaire, Stephanie Stevens, will share some of her fascinating research about the history of Hunterdon's oldest municipality, Readington Township.
