Soccer and Scouting
The Boy Scouts of America has launched its Soccer and Scouting program as an outreach to Hispanic / Latino youth and families. Soccer and Scouting will teach soccer skills and provide exciting competition, and at the same time boys will be Cub Scouts and learn the life-long values taught in the Scouting program. All of the materials will be published in English and Spanish.
Our national Soccer and Scouting program is an outgrowth of trial programs initiated in Orange County, California; Mt. Prospect, Illinois; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Athens, Georgia; and tested in Denver, Colorado. In all of those locations, Hispanic youth joined Scouting in order to play the game with their friends, and they learned once they were involved that Cub Scouting is fun and good for them.
In the Rio Grande Council girls can be part of the Soccer and Scouting leagues. Girls in the first grade thru five grade can be part of the Soccer and Scouting program and register as Learning for Life participants. This character education program is ideal for today's challenges.
Parents also get involved in our Soccer and Scouting program, as parent helpers, and as soccer coaches. Like Cub Scouting everywhere, most of the involved adults are the parents of the boys benefiting from it. In the case of Soccer and Scouting, the practices and games are usually family events, fun for everyone, and everyone learns a better way of life through Scouting.
