Scouting would not be possible if not for all of the hard work our adult Volunteers do. If you would like to become a Volunteer, the process is simple. Fill out an adult application and then talk to the Unit you want to join about what position will be the best fit.
If you want to become a Merit Badge Counselor, that is a separate process with its own forms, fee, and approval steps. See How to Become a Merit Badge Counselor for everything you need, including which forms to send and where to send them. Please note that approval can take several weeks, and only an approved Merit Badge Counselor can sign off on merit badges.
Our adult Volunteers deserve recognition for the work they do, and there are Adult Awards for Volunteers. Do you know an adult leader who deserves special recognition? Fill out a nomination form and turn it in to your District Commissioner.
Once you become a Volunteer, be sure to complete your training!
