Our Mission
Our Mission
San Francisco Scout Skill Academy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that keeps Scouting strong in San Francisco. We charter and sponsor local units, help pay for dues, supplies, and outings, and back the volunteer leaders who make every meeting happen. Our goal is simple: every young person in the city who wants to camp, cook, serve, and lead should get the chance.
Charter Local Units
