Exploring is where future careers start to take shape. This hands-on program connects young people with real professionals, real workplaces, and real opportunities—giving them a firsthand look at what’s possible.
Whether you’re a young person eager to explore your interests or an organization looking to invest in the next generation, Exploring creates meaningful connections that build confidence, skills, and direction for the future.
Through mentorship, site visits, and interactive experiences, participants gain insight into a wide range of career fields, all while developing leadership and networking skills that last a lifetime.
Support can take many forms: Donate through Friends of Scouting, purchase popcorn or camp cards from a local Scout, attend our Women of Achievement dinner or regional Citizenship Awards dinners, and so much more. Your support of Scouting enables Garden State Council to support the experiences of nearly 5,000 youth throughout South Jersey!
