There is a lot of stuff to do to reigster your son as a scout, but compared to the experience that your son will remember for his entire life, it is worth it a hundred times over. You can also email the Membership SubCommittee for help: lechun.c.wu@gmail.com, kwei8620826@gmail.com, jingchen72@gmail.com.
Scouting is a family activity and we encourage all parents to be involved in their Scout's development. Like anything else in life, you/your son, will get as much out of Scouting as you/he put into it.
Again, welcome to Scouting!
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 straight.
A scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.
