Scouting Colorado Values

Scouting Creates Leaders

Scouting emphasizes the development of innovative servant-leaders who focus on the growth of people and the communities to which they belong. Scouting Colorado provides today’s youth with the skills needed to make the world a better place, aligned with the Scout Oath and Law, for the benefit of our youth, families, communities, and humankind. We want to make a difference that enables a prosperous future for all.

We Adventure Safely

Keeping young people safe is more than just a priority in Scouting – it’s a value that’s core to who we are. Scouting Colorado enforces all aspects of our youth protection program, and our leaders attend annual training to maintain a high level of competence in assuring the safety of our youth. We are open and transparent with everyone about Scouting Colorado programs and how they are conducted to build confidence these activities are safe, relevant, and fun.

Our Service Makes a Difference

Through purposeful learning activities, projects, and community focus, the contributions of Scouting lead to positive change, inspiring others to also make a mark. From the earliest days of Scouting, “try and leave this world a little better than you found it” is a central tenet of our promise. Scouting Colorado provides today’s youth with the skills needed to have a positive impact on society.

Scouting is for Everyone

Scouting is a worldwide organization with a presence in numerous countries and embracing diverse cultures, religions, and ethnicities. Scouting Colorado is deeply committed to the growth and well-being of a diverse Scouting community. We are intentional in assuring all young people have access to Scouting Colorado programs, especially in underserved communities.

You are Welcome Here

Each of us is unique and equal. We keep our minds open and appreciate different points of view. Scouting Colorado respects and values the authenticity of everyone, honoring their purpose and respecting their intent. Scouting Colorado is a safe place to be yourself.

Scouting is Fun

Scouting emphasizes personal growth, skill development, and creative problem solving through experiences that are both exciting and challenging. Scouting Colorado prepares youth for success in life no matter the path they choose. We foster a love of learning through self-discovery, goal-setting, and achievement.

“If I’ve taken one thing away from Scouting, it’s the importance of companionship, or perhaps an even better word: brotherhood.”

“For us, Scouting is a family affair. Many of our Den’s parents were Scouts themselves and are now able to share their passion with their children. Camp at McNeil Scout Ranch at Peaceful Valley hold a very special place in our hearts.”

Safety in Scouting

In Scouting, we will not compromise the safety of our youth, volunteers, and employees. Safety is a value that must be taught and reinforced at every opportunity. We are all responsible and must hold each other accountable to provide a safe environment for all participants.
