Parents

Welcome to Scouting! Through Scouting, youth develop strong connections and make important contributions to their families, their community, and society at large. Scouting provides the key ingredients for helping youth grow into competent, caring, and confident adults. Research about our highly effective programs has shown that these ingredients are:

• Positive and sustained adult-youth relationships
• Youth activities that build life skills
• Youth participation in and leadership of valued community activities

The Scouting program significantly enhances opportunities for personal development, including higher grades, school engagement, self-esteem, and resilience. The program provides a safe environment where relationships are built with caring and competent adults, where youth are encouraged to take leadership of their development, and where useful life skills are acquired.

Troop 537 has a very active adult leadership team and are fully committed growing and protecting our youth. Each one of our leaders is certified by BSA and has fulfilled the background check requirements maintained by our council. If you are interested in joining our troop and/or becoming an adult leader with Troop 537, please look over the available BSA Adult Training & Youth Protection information. Also, additional adult training resources specific to Denver can be found here.

If you have any questions about the leadership of our troop, or if you are interested in participating as an adult, please let us know! You can contact us here, and we will respond as soon as possible.
