A Word from the Scoutmaster
A Word from the Scoutmaster
Lord Baden Powell, the founder of scouting, had this to say: “In Scouting, a boy is encouraged to educate himself instead of being instructed.” That is the focus of our Troop: Encouragement, self-reliance, and learning through EXPERIENCE. Our Troop helps our boys learn life-long skills through fun activities and outings, leading others, and experiencing the many lessons that occur along the way! They are often humorous and the stuff of memories and stories that they gladly carry with them forever! We as adult leaders and parents strive to guide, support, and cheer on their efforts and keep them safe. It's like learning how to walk. Scouts have all the self-motivation to do so, and often want to start running on day one. They will stumble, get up, and go at it again. We just provide encouragement, provide a hand when they want it, cover any sharp corners, and enjoy the process!

Boy Scouts are all about the outdoor experience. Our teachers are the woods, the stars and the sky, and the natural world. Adventure calls and we always look forward to introducing first-timers to camping, hiking, and outdoor trips!
