Welcome to the Erie Shores Council BSA website!
The Erie Shores Council provides outstanding Scouting programs to the youth of Northwest Ohio in Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, Wood and eastern Fulton Counties. Programs are operated by age levels mixing lots of fun together with outdoor activities.
Tiger Cubs. A first-grade boy joins along with an adult family member for at-home activities plus a monthly event with other Tiger Cub boys and adults.
Cub Scouts. Games, crafts, sports, skills, camping—it’s all here in this neighborhood– and family– centered program for boys in second through fifth grades.
Boy Scouts. While delivering on the promise of outdoor adventure, Boy Scouting places emphasis on leadership, values, service, and lifetime skills. Special opportunities include summer camp, national and international jamborees, and trips to high adventure bases.
Venturing. A youth development program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the 8th grade) through 20 years of age whose purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.
