Scouting America states that its mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Scouting America is described as one of the nation’s largest and most prominent value-based youth development organizations and provides several programs that build character, train young people in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develop personal fitness. For more than a century, the program has combined educational activities and lifelong values with fun, and its goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations. For younger members, the Scout method is part of the program to instill typical Scouting values such as trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoor skills.
Cub Scouts is the program for boys and girls ages 5 to 10 years old, Scouts BSA is for young men and women ages 11 to 17 years of age, Venturing is a co-ed program for youth ages 14 to 21 years old, and Exploring is a career development program for young people ages 14 to 21 that provides exciting activities and one-on-one mentorship for youth looking to discover their future. The Verdugo Hills Council Meeting Room is described as ideal for a committee meeting, training session, or networking event and is open to Scouting and others. The Verdugo Hills Council notes that it provides values-based programs to more than 1,300 young men and women in the Glendale, Burbank, Sun Valley, Sunland, Tujunga, La Crescenta, Montrose, Eagle Rock, and Highland Park communities of Los Angeles County. The Verdugo Hills Council credits its leadership team as including Peter Basler, VHC VP of Outdoor Activities & Camping; Amy Taylor, Acting Scout Executive; Connor Bent, Registrar Clerk and Sales Associate; Brandon Fuster, District Associate; Alexander Gallagher, Sales Associate; and Wendy Tateishi, Camping and Activities Registrar. The council lists a copyright range of 2009–2026 for Scouting America Verdugo Hills Council.
