    Welcome to Contra Costa Scouting

    The mission of the Boy Scouts of America (founded in 1910) is to provide an educational program for boys and young adults to build character, to train them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness. The Boy Scouts of America is the nation's foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training.

    Scout units typically hold weekly activity/training meetings, monthly field trips and annual summer camp adventures. Cub Scout Packs accomodate boys ages 7-10. Boy Scout Troops cover boys ages 11-18. Venturer Crews are co-ed groups for ages 16-20. Most units are sponsored by volunteer organizations and encourage direct parent involvement. Big emphasis on outdoor activity.

    Wolfeboro Pioneers
    BSA Honor Society

    The Wolfeboro Pioneers are one of the few surviving local BSA honor societies in the United States that has not been absorbed by the Order of the Arrow. The Wolfeboro Pioneers is a Boy Scout camping honor society based out of Camp Wolfeboro and founded in the summer of 1929. Today, only a handful of minor organizations, the Wolfeboro Pioneers among them, exist in the United States. The Wolfeboro Pioneers is one of the largest of these minor organizations. Every summer, it inducts roughly 90 Scouts, a good annual induction rate for a "minor organization". These Scouts come not only from California, but from around the nation and world. In a way, the Wolfeboro Pioneers promotes Scouts from around the nation and the world to come together and express their common bond.
