Our program is scheduled around these six areas.
- Service Projects
- To help foster a sense of personal responsibility and citizenship, Scouts are required
to participate in a service project approved by their Scoutmaster for the ranks of Second
Class, Star, Life, and Eagle.
- Advancement
- Ranks are simply a means to an end, not an end in themselves. Everything Scouts do
to advance and earn these ranks, from the day they join until they leave the program,
should be designed to help them have an exciting and meaningful experience. This
means providing your Scouts with a stimulating and active troop organization.
- Camping
- The troop committee, working in support of the Scoutmaster, should make every effort to
give their Scouts an outdoor experience every month. This goal is not easy to
accomplish. It takes people (leaders, transportation) and money (food, equipment),
but this challenge can be met with the help of the troop committee.
- High Adventure
- High Adventure is a highlight of Scouting outdoor experiences. It appeals to,
challenges, and inspires the youth and adult leaders who participate. High adventure
keeps older youth high on Scouting. It is an experience in living and cooperating
wiht others to meet an exciting challenge. It is learning to overcome difficulties
and learning to live in harmony with nature.
-
- Fund Raising
- The troop earns money to finance the expenses that are incurred each month.
Whether purchasing new equipment, advancement badges, or service expenses, the troop does
not depend on the charter organization for financial support.
-
- Training
- Training is an integral part of the Scout and Scouter education. The training page
will post education available in the past and present.
-
- Uniforms
- The uniform is a very important part of Scouting. It gives a new scout a sense of
belonging and acceptance. It gives the more mature scout the ability to display some
of his accomplishments in scouting. It also give the parents a way to teach
responsibility, cooperation, compliance, and teaming. Parents should encourage their
scouts to not use the uniform as a way to illustrate their individualism.
