BOY SCOUTS
The Boys Scouts of America are represented on Signal Mountain by Tiger Cubs (ages 6-7), Cub Scouts (ages 8-10), and several Boy Scout Troops (ages 11-18), offering boys the opportunity to participate in a high-quality scouting program. Parents are strongly encouraged to take an active part in actual leadership or in support positions. The Signal Mountain/Walden community and nearby parks and natural areas offer a vast array of outdoor and recreational activities. All of the groups are actively involved in community service efforts and frequently share in special emphasis areas and recognition ceremonies.

Monday nights have traditionally been the meeting time for the scout troops, but this may vary. Meetings are typically held at the sponsoring organization's facilities.

GIRL SCOUTS
Girl Scouts have a very active presence in the Signal Mountain community. With over 200 girls in the O-Ten-Talla service unit, scouting serves one in four girls on the mountain, surpassing the national average of one in nine. With 16 troops from Daisy to Cadet, there are scouting activities available to girls from 5 to 17 years of age. Activities include the fall scarecrow - making project, a park cleanup day called Sparkle Day, a father/daughter sock-hop, International Night which benefits the World Association Friendship Fund, and camping at Camp Adahi on Lookout Mountain. All girls in the mountain community are welcome in scouting and adult leadership is always needed for troops and projects.
