Core Objectives

Troop 277's core objectives are to develop character, promote personal fitness, and teach good citizenship for its youth members. We believe strongly that every boy has an opportunity through the Scouting program to learn important lessons that will help them to be a strong citizen and grow into a well-rounded adult no matter what rank they achieve. Every boy is important regardless of their background, economic, or disability status.

Boy Led Troop

Troop 277 is a boy led troop. As boys grow within the troop, their leadership skills are utilized in various positions. The Boy Leaders in Troop 277 are expected to run the Troop meetings, plan outings, coordinate activities, and manage campouts. The Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters are facilitators of the programs. The Troop Committee works in support of the scouts, scoutmaster, and assistant scoutmasters.

The main focus for Troop 277 is developing leadership by putting the decision making process, planning, and running of the Troop in the hands of the Scouts. This places a lot of responsibility on the Scouts, but it also enables the Scouts to learn firsthand and understand the impact of decisions they make in a safe and supportive learning environment. Whenever you or your son is unsure about what is supposed to be happening or what is expected, your son should call his Patrol Leader or the Senior Patrol Leader for guidance and clarification.
