After School Scouting Programs in Crossroads of America

The After School Scouting Programs are a part of Central Indiana’s Boy Scouts of America, known as Crossroads of America Council, and are designed to meet the needs of all youth ages 5-17.

Emphasis is placed on providing adult leaders as role models and skill development through a specialized curriculum. Weekly pack/troop meetings, regional events and camping opportunities are simply a few of the hallmarks of our programs.

We assist our youth with scholarships for registration, uniforms, handbooks, camp fees, and equipment.

Our Vision

Increase youth participation while retaining more youth annually.
Increase youth advancing through the program.
Increase the number of hours of community service.
Increase youth outdoor experience.
