What is scouting alumni?

If Scouting has touched your life, you’re one of us. Scouting Alumni is the official program of Scouting America for everyone who has been part of the Scouting journey: former Scouts, parents, volunteers, leaders, donors, employees, and advocates.

 

What connects us isn’t a rank, a registration record, or a title. It’s a shared belief in what Scouting does for young people, and a commitment to carry it forward.

Is This You?

Have you ever made a s’more around a campfire? Spent a week at summer camp, or pushed yourself at a high adventure base? Weathered a campout in pouring rain? Taken your child to a den meeting, or hosted one at your kitchen table? Counseled a merit badge, or benefited from a young person’s Eagle Scout project?

 

Then you’re a Scouting America alum. For more than a century, Scouting has prepared young people for life, and every alum carries a piece of that story.

Vision

A vibrant, engaged alumni community committed to advancing Scouting’s mission and life-changing programs.

Mission

To gather every eligible alum to foster a lasting community that celebrates and perpetuates the life-changing experiences and values of Scouting, as embodied in the Scout Oath and Law.

Association Leadership

Scouting Alumni is led by fellow alumni who volunteer their time to keep our community growing and connected. Meet the people behind the association and learn what they do.

Notable Alumni

Scouting alumni have walked on the Moon, served on the Supreme Court, won Nobel Prizes, and taken NASCAR championships. Others built businesses, broke barriers, and made their mark closer to home. Whatever path they took, many say it started with the skills and values they learned in Scouting.


This isn’t a ranking of the “top” alumni. It’s a collection of stories we hope will inspire today’s Scouts, and remind every alum of where Scouting can lead.
