For the Leaders of Tomorrow
AND THE YOUTH OF TODAY
Welcome to the Erie Shores Council Scoutreach Division.
Serving the youth of Lucas, Wood, Ottawa, and Sandusky counties in Northwest Ohio, the Erie Shores Council Scoutreach District is a multicultural initiative that focuses on both urban and rural youth. We currently work with 18 charter partners to serve over 200 Scouts throughout Northwest Ohio. We also have 4 charter partners through Wood and Sandusky counties and serve over 75 youth in our Migrant Enrichment Programs. Through the generous support of the community and our charter partners, Scoutreach is a serving youth who benefit most from Scouting.
Today, young people are faced with many challenges including fragile families and disintegrating neighborhoods. Scouting, by emphasizing ethics and moral values, addresses many of the social concerns of parents and youth in our country. Scouting prepares urban and rural youth to be leaders, to accept responsibility, and to care about principles and causes beyond their own self-interest.
Scoutreach is the Erie Shores Council’s commitment to making sure that all young people have an opportunity to join Scouting regardless of circumstances, neighborhood or ethnic background.
Scoutreach meets the development needs of youth in urban and rural settings through a well-defined program based on values, learning by doing, fun, and positive role models.
Scoutreach programs are offered throughout the Erie Shores Council. Through the efforts and the emphasis provided by local volunteers and staff, significant progress is being made to break down barriers and share cultural differences while expanding inclusiveness in Northwest Ohio.
