Youth can be Scouts if they have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10 years old, or have earned the Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old, or are older than 10 but under 18 years old.

Troop meetings are intended to be an activity lead by youth, for youth. They are not a family activity, and the presence of parents can be a distraction. However, parental involvement can be beneficial. If a parent or guardian would like to be present during a Troop meeting, that is okay. Parents are also needed for volunteers on campouts, or for a position on the troop committee or as an assistant Scoutmaster.

Adults can get involved in many different ways. If you’re interested, please let us know at a Troop meeting.

Reach out to your Scout’s patrol leader. If you don’t know who that is, reach out to the senior patrol leader, the Scoutmaster, or other Troop adult depending on the nature of your question.

We meet once each week on Monday nights at our Troop meeting. Patrols may decide to have patrol outings, campouts usually occur once a month on different weekends, and Scouts in leadership roles will be invited to the Troop PLC meetings once a month on the third Wednesday.

A Scout patrol is a small team of normally six to eight Scouts where patrol members learn skills together, share responsibilities and take on leadership roles. 

The Patrol Leaders’ Council plans all meetings and activities, with guidance from adults. This ensures our Troop is youth lead.
