It is a great organization that helps build and develop young people into leaders.
It always needs adults that believe in the ideals of Scouting to volunteer as Den Leaders, Cub Masters, Scout Masters, Unit Committeemen, and Assistants. If you think you are too old to sleep in a tent on the hard ground, there are district jobs such as Unit Commissioners that work with the leaders of 2-3 units in their neighborhood.
If you believe that youth should be taught to be: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, brave, clean, and reverent, and are willing to take the Scout Oath:
"On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally strait."
Then you can be a Scouter.
You can also serve as a merit badge counselor. How about photography or wood working? Google for a list of the merit badges currently available and I'm sure you will find one or more that you could share your expertise, with some young person.
This is not just a boys game any more. You ladies can hold any of these positions.

I volunteer to help the Girl Scouts in my County obtain their photography badge. I always look forward to my new classes loaded with enthusiastic young ladies and the parents and leaders have a great time learning also. So sad, the virus has cancelled this month's program and it looks like April is out also.
