We are a very active troop. We feel that camping and the outdoors are a very important part of the scouting program, and we strive to go camping as a troop at least once every month. Our 2007 Calendar of Events includes many exciting camping, hiking and high-adventure opportunities for every rank and age level. Our regular activities include: - Troop meetings every Monday night
- Monthly campouts
- Yearly high-adventure trips for older and more experienced scouts
- Summer camp at Woodruff Scout Reservation
- Community service projects
- District and Council events
- Fundraising Opportunities
- Family Events
Outdoor Sports We emphasize hiking, backpacking and canoeing as part of our troop program. Boredom is not an option...fun is what we're all about! Troop Handbook Our Troop Committee has written a Troop Handbook to help educate new scouts and their parents about our rules and guidelines. Patrols We see the patrol method as the basis of the entire scouting program. Boys are split into small, youth-led groups. These groups set up their own campsite, plan and cook their meals, and wash their own dishes. They work as a team to achieve all the goals of camping. This teaches them leadership skills that they can't learn just about anywhere else. |
