Cub Scouts
Cub Scouts do fun things with other kids! They get to wear a cool uniform, go places, and see things. They play all kinds of sports and build things, like race cars and bird houses. Want to learn a secret code? Want to learn about wild animals?

Boy Scouts

Boy Scouts get away from it all! They camp, hike, and fish in the great outdoors. They get together in troops, and try out new experiences. Boy Scouting is available to boys who are 11 through 17 years old, or who have earned the Arrow of Light Award, or have completed the fifth grade.  For information about Boy Scouting, see our fact sheet about the program.  To visit our special ScoutZone website, which includes a list of all local Boy Scout Troops, click HERE

Exploring

Is part of the Learning for Life career education program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) or 15 through 20 years old.

Exploring's purpose is to provide experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.

Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate an Explorer post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, and develop.

Explorer posts can specialize in a variety of career skills. Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, service learning, character education, and leadership experience.

Some of the Explorer Posts currently in our council: law enforcement, teen toastmasters, fire fighters, medical, and environment.  Want to know about Exploring?

Order of the Arrow  

The purpose of the Order of the Arrow is fourfold: to recognize those Scout campers who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives; to develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit; to promote Scout camping; and to crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.  For information about Order of the Arrow, see our fact sheet about the program.  To find out about the Order of the Arrow lodges of the Cimarron Council, visit the Order of the Arrow page of this site.
