Low-income youth face steep obstacles on their path to success as they approach adulthood. Connectiveness to the community and school is a predictor for a successful future for them. ScoutReach is a vehicle for low-income youth in the most impoverished neighborhoods in Long Beach to join the Boy Scouts without any fees. ScoutReach is the perfect connector for low-income youth to participate in group activities that build the self-assurance and confidence needed to navigate our complicated world. LBAC will reopen 10 new schools with 200 youth.
