  Join
us!
We
are a boy-led troop, offering a Scouting program with emphasis
on
camping and outdoor skills. Our Scouts actively practice the leadership
skills they’ll use as adults. All boys age 11 to 17, in grades 6 or higher,
are welcome to join us or to visit a meeting. Please contact our
Committee Chairman or
Scoutmaster to arrange your visit
to a meeting - we believe you’ll become one of our
newest members.
