The Importance of Adults
The Importance of Adults
Adults provide valuable resources for a Boy Scout Troop, such as transportation, Merit Badge Counseling, finance, guidance, and encouragement. All activities must be attended by at least two adult leaders. Adult Leader Training will help an adult understand the aims and methods of Scouting and is strongly encouraged. Adults have as much fun as the boys.
In conclusion, Scouting is for the boys. With adult guidance, the boy learns leadership through the setting of meetings, teaching skills, and the accomplishment of goals. Most of all, regardless of your age, Scouting is fun!
Attaining Eagle
Attaining Eagle
We realize that a primary motive for boys to join our troop and Boy Scouts, in general, is to attain the rank of Eagle. Anyone who joins just before or around the age of 16 has a chance if they put their mind to it. At Troop 290 we recognize that a scout to development to Eagle is the most important aspect in scouting and so our schedule and planning are very heavily geared to give the scouts in our troop every opportunity to reach the goal of Eagle.
