The Scout program is designed around a lively variety of activities based on personal
and group interests. Scouts emphasizes outdoor and environmental activities, citizenship
and community service, leadership, and personal development. Individual interests and
skills are recognized through an awards system.
The outdoors is an essential part of the Scout program. Weekend events, extended hikes,
no trace camping and seasonal sports opportunities round out the Scout experience.
Developing an active, healthy lifestyle is the prime goal.
Scouts meet in a group called a troop. The troop is split into smaller groups called
patrols. There is one leader for every six Scouts. Each Scout learns a promise, law and
motto to help guide their personal development.
