In 1918 explorers were started so 15 to 18 year olds could be a part of Scouts. Scouting is for all ages. If you aren't old enough tobe a Boy Scout you can join Cub Scouts. Cub Scouts that are in 4th and 5th grade are called Webelos. In order to become a Boy Scout, you must be finished with fifth grade, have earned the Arrow of Light Award, or be 11 years old, but not over 18.
Girls can also be in Scouts.

The groups for Girl Scouts are Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette and Senior. Friendship and brotherhood are importment to all Scouts. Scouts are also adventurous.
