Organizational Information
Vision, Mission and/or Purpose of Organization
It is the mission of the Laurel Highlands Council Scouting America to make available the resources of Scouting America to the greatest number of youth. We will work with Chartered Partners, community resources, and dedicated volunteers to enable youth to participate fully in quality Scouting programs. Through this participation we will develop confident citizens with positive life skills, unity of purpose, foster parental involvement with their children, and develop adult leadership. We will strengthen Charter Partner responsibility (ownership of units) to help ensure all youth have access to quality Scouting programs.

Volunteer opportunities vary. We have opportunities to fit every generation and your availability to serve. Volunteers help us deliver Scouting programs to local youth in your community. Some help us maintain our camps and some experienced volunteers help coach and guide other Scouting volunteers in a myriad of responsibilities. Volunteerism in Scouting America requires approval by local decision makers, but welcomes anyone with an interest to apply.
