We are Scout Led

Led by Scouts means exactly that. At Scout meetings, on trips, and at other Scouting events, the Scouts lead. The troop is organized into patrols, each with a Patrol Leader. The Senior Patrol Leader, with a Patrol Leaders Council (PLC), is responsible for setting the schedule and running meetings, planning activities on camping trips, and even selecting the trips we go on.

Adults play a vital role in ensuring that scouts are always safe.  

But the troop gives the Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leaders and Scouts the chance to lead, make decisions, and – yes – make (and learn from) mistakes. 

You might wonder, "What if I see my own child – or some other Scout – struggling at a meeting or on a trip?"  Scout meetings might sometimes seem chaotic, and there may be times that adults need to intervene.  But, in general, adults try to keep a light touch and give Scouts the chance to be responsible for their own success in Scouting.

We Plan Big Adventures

Our scouts plan some awesome adventures. Every year the scouts plan a longer bigger adventure than our typical monthly campout. These are open to all scouts, not just older scouts. Think high adventure-lite.
