We a Great Community Collaborators The goal of Scouting isn't to change the culture of a neighborhood - it is to bring it together and be a catalyst for positive change, as defined by the neighborhood. To that extent, Indian Waters Council proudly partners with the Housing Authorities, School Districts, Faith Based and Community Based Organizations in each community. We Provide Service One of the Boy Scouts of America's founding principles is to provide service to the community. Each Cub Scout Pack, Boy Scout Troop or Venture Crew is required to provide a significant number of hours in their community to complete service projects and volunteer at special events, work at a local food pantry or serve meals at a homeless shelter. Each Eagle Scout is required, with the help of his Troop, to complete a Service Project of meaningful and lasting impact.

Why Scouting? Since 1910, Scouting hasn't been so much about twigs and leaves, camping or hiking as it is about the spark. The spark may be a leader's encouraging words, achieving a merit badge for engineering or going on a high adventure rafting trip. There's no telling what the spark might be for a young person, but it just may ignite a fire within that burns his or her entire life. Prepared. For Adventure. It's a big world. Pack a map. Scouting is many young men and women's introduction to the great outdoors and, most important, a lesson on their place in it. Prepared. For Leadership. Scouting builds leaders. Former Scouts sit on the boards of global corporations, walk the halls of the White House and have been known to occasionally go hiking on the moon. The life lessons young people learn in Scouting help them make good decisions throughout their life. Prepared. For Service. Many Scouts achieve more before the age of 18 than some people do in a lifetime. Best of all, they do it to not only improve themselves, but also their communities. Prepared. For Learning. Beyond outdoor adventures and programs, today's Scouting uses innovation and technology to harness youth's natural curiosity and prepare them for success.
