Scouts BSA is for boys and girls who are 11, or are at least 10 years old and have completed the fifth grade or have earned the Cub Scout Arrow of Light Award, through 17 years old.

Scouts will prepare boys and girls for life. Scouts BSA Troop 146 of Hudsonville, Michigan provides separate troops for boys and girls, both of which are youth-led utilizing the Patrol Method. Under the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster, the scouts plan, organize, and lead our troop activities. They will develop character, discipline, leadership and personal fitness by participating in our vigorous outdoor and peer group leadership program. Just as important, boys and girls will have the time of their lives tackling adventure after adventure, with the friends they make.
