Scouts build confidence and skills through outdoor adventures including camping, bike trips, hiking, archery, and canoeing. In small groups, Scouts learn leadership and teamwork skills, and how to take more responsibility for themselves. The Scout Motto is "Be Prepared".
Scouts develop self-confidence by learning skills and putting them into practise. In Patrols of six to eight, Scouts elect a Patrol Leader and work together as a team. At camp, Scouts setup their campsites, learn to cook their food, and organize activities, all under the supervision of the adult leadership. At the Scout troop's weekly meetings, Scouts play games and learn skills to prepare for the weekend outings. Everyone gets leadership opportunities.
Here are things the Scouts have done recently:
The Scout Troop is lead by parents and other volunteers from the community. All volunteers complete a screening process.
The 2010/11 program will include a trip to New York City during March Break. On the trip, the Scouts will visit major sites such as the Statue of Liberty, learn about world citizenship at the United Nations, take in culture at some of the many museums, and experience a Broadway performance. This will be the troop's fourth trip to the historic city.
Our program will also include six weekend camps, other weekend activities, and a week-long summer camp.
