Boy Scout Information

 

The Boy Scouts are young men ages 11 to 17 and their  Scouting program is also Home and Neighborhood centered.  Scouting happens in large apartment complexes, in urban areas, in rural communities, in large cities, in small towns, and wherever boys live.

The Scout meetings may be at your local school, church, or an organization that is willing to furnish a meeting location for Scouting. 

The objective of the Boy Scouting program is to develop character,  citizenship,  and personal fitness among youth by focusing on a vigorous program of outdoor activities.  Boy Scouts strive to have a high degree of self-reliance,  and to develop important qualities,  such as initiative,  courage, resourcefulness,  personal values,  and the skill and desire to help others.  Boy Scouts are knowledgeable about,  and take pride in their heritage and religious values.

The patrol system gives Boy Scouts experience in group participation and responsibility.  These small groups plan troop activities through their elected representatives.  The Boy Scout program encourages boys to learn and practice leadership skills.  Scouts plan their activities and progress toward their goals.  The boys are provided a series of surmountable obstacles,  and the steps in overcoming them.  The Boy Scout is rewarded for each achievement,  which helps him gain self confidence,  self reliance,  and the ability to help others.

Our most important mission is to help your Boy Scout to become physically,  emotionally and mentally fit.
