Scouting is fun, but there's much more to it than that!

Scouts learn SKILLS through our Merit Badge program and activities.

  • Camping
  • Personal Life Skills
  • Swimming
  • Hiking
  • Travel to remote locations

Scouts learn LEADERSHIP by taking on positions of responsibility within the Troop.

  • Service
  • Leadership
  • Life-long Skills

Most importantly, Scouts develop CHARACTER as they learn Scouting’s values. After all, if we’re training skilled leaders, it’s important that they lead in the right direction.

  • Grow into responsible adulthood by developing core values based on the Scout Oath and Law (the “Spirit of Scouting”)
    • Duty to God
    • Duty to Others
    • Duty to Self

These concepts are expressed in the Mission and Vision of the Boy Scouts of America.
