Parent Involvement

Scouting is a program for anyone active in the life of a Scout. We recognize that who plays a parental role can vary from family to family. Scouting America works to ensure that parents and other individuals who play a parental role in a Scout’s life can impact and participate in Scouting.


Opportunities for Parents

You, too, can get involved! The Cornhusker Council, Scouting America has many opportunities for parents to be leaders with their Scout’s unit! Options also exist for adults who wish to volunteer as merit badge counselors, camp staff, instructors, or helping other ways within the unit. Training classes that provide adults with leadership skills and techniques to further their careers are also available, both online and in person.
