Boy Scouts

Scouting promises the great outdoors. Scouts learn how to camp and hike without leaving a trace and how to take care of the land. They study wildlife up close and learn about nature all around them. There are plenty of skills Scouts master and teach others. Everyone helping everyone else - that's part of Scouting, too. Scouting promises friendship. Many members of troops already know each other, and there are opportunities to meet many other Scouts. Some become lifelong friends. Scouting promises opportunities to work toward the Eagle Scout rank. Scouts set positive goals for themselves and then follow clear routes to achieve them. Scouting promises tools to help make the most of families, communities and the nation. Good deeds preformed by Scouts improve the lives of those around them. Scouts are prepared to help others in time of need. Scouting promises experiences and duties that help Scouts mature into strong, wise adults. The Scout Oath and the Scout Law can guide young men while they are Scouts and throughout their lives. Scout Oath (or Promise)
