Scoutreach Specialist
Position Overview
Since 1910, Scouting has helped mold the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes and understands that helping youth puts us on a path towards a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
LeAP Summary:
The Chattahoochee Council strives to make Scouting available to all youth who want to participate through our Outreach efforts (Scoutreach). The Leadership Assistance Program (LeAP), which is part of Scoutreach, brings the BSA programs to youth in underserviced/low-income areas in our council territory; most of which are families who are affected by economic and social hardships. Participants benefit from structured afterschool or community center-based programs led by trained adults in a safe space. Unlike parent-led Scout groups, LeAP delivers program content to our youth via paid Program Aides.
