In today's high-tech and mobile world, families may begin their search for a Scouting unit online.
Let's make sure your unit is ready to be FOUND!
Updating your unit pin
When families enter a zip code at https://beascout.scouting.org/, you want your unit to show up in the list! This is their first look at your unit. Make sure your contacts are updated and correct. This is also where you can update your Family Scouting status (are you a boy only pack, girl only pack, or do you have dens for both). Remember, users can search using several different criteria, so make sure all your information is updated.
