Our Troop Focus is to have fun (and we may accidentally learn something along the way)! We are an extremely active troop!

Organization

Our troop is boy led.  A Senior Patrol Leader selected by the Scouts leads the troop. Other positions include Patrol Leaders, Historian, Quartermaster, Scribe and Chaplain. Adult leadership is provided by the Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmasters, and many others.

Our troop believes that the best way to learn is by doing. If you do something for the first time (set up a tent, cook a meal outdoors, lead a patrol, etc.) you will likely make a few mistakes the first time. The next time you do it, you will do it faster and better. If someone does it for you, they would be stealing your opportunity to learn. Someone once said, "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." Our Troop allows our scouts to try new things, mistakes and all, so that they can gain that experience - and the pride that comes with accomplishment. Our adult leaders provide just enough direction to keep activities safe and moving forward.

Scout Advancement Philosophy

We mix our monthly camping trips with many other activities that focus on Rank Advancement and Merit Badge completion. We strive to have all first year Scouts at or very close to the First Class rank by the end of their first year. Our first year Scouts have the opportunity to earn several Merit Badges during their first year. We have had several recent Eagle Scouts and several more will be able to earn the Eagle rank this next year.
