Welcome New Scouting Parents/Leaders

Being a volunteer in Scouting is rewarding, both to the adult and the youth being served. Thank you for taking the time to be a part of a child's life.

You probably have many questions about what you are supposed to do in your new role. You're not alone. The seasoned parents in your unit can offer you much guidance and support. The websites for the San Diego-Imperial Council, your district and perhaps your unit have a wealth of information to assist you in your role as a Scouting volunteer.
