ONSC is a local council of Scouting America serving families in the greater Greensboro area of North Carolina.

Challenges Facing Today’s Youth

Youth today face numerous distractions and challenges that can hinder their personal growth and development. From the pressures of social media to the increasing demands of school and extracurricular activities, young people often struggle to find their path. These challenges can lead to a lack of confidence, direction, and critical life skills necessary for a successful future.
