Members of the BSA AA are not required to be registered with the Boy Scouts of America. However, to serve the Boy Scouts of America in a volunteer capacity, one must register, undergo a background check, and meet the BSA’s membership standards. BSA AA are not members of the Boy Scouts of America and therefore do not receive the same privileges and access to Scouting events as registered volunteers. In addition, a council may limit the participation of BSA AA members at the council’s discretion. The following examples should give further clarification of the differences between the possible roles of alumni members and registered volunteer. A BSA AA member may: Attend an alumni networking event Assist with a council service project or Eagle project in the community Be a guest speaker at a unit meeting Serve on an Eagle Scout board of review A BSA AA member must also be a registered member of the BSA to: Serve on camp staff Go on a campout with a local unit Serve as a merit badge counselor Work directly with Scouting youth
