Learn
more about becoming a Boy Scout
Who can Join?
Each
boy must be 10 1/2 years old and in the fifth grade. If they are in Cub Scouts or Webelos,
they should remain until they earn the Arrow of Light Award.
Many
Scouts join a troop near home, but you have a choice. We recommend that you visit more than
one troop before choosing one. We all follow the same general format, but
each troop has unique traditions and personality.
After
selecting a troop, parents should attend the first meeting to complete an
application form, pay required fees, and obtain the basic health and
consent forms. The fees and completed forms are required before your
child can participate in any Troop activities (National policy).
How Much does it cost?
Our
one-time $65 Induction Fee covers the cost of a Troop T-shirt, Scout
Handbook, book cover, merit badge sash, and a troop neckerchief with
slide. Each scout needs to
purchase a “Class A” uniform shirt.
Each campout is $20 plus $10+ for food. Lastly, ongoing membership dues are $10
per month for activity expenses.
Sound
like a lot of money? We have
solutions. To help scouts learn
the value of money and hard work; we offer several fundraisers that
enable each boy to earn funds to go towards their personal scout expenses. Additionally, we want everyone who
desires to be a scout to not be held back due to finances. Grants can be made to assist those
designated with a need. A discussion with the Troop’s Committee
(Executive Board) can help set that up.
What will I need?
Scout Uniform. You can
purchase them from one of the local scout
shops, or online from the Online Catalog.
How do I sign up?

How often are the
Scout Meetings?
We meet every other
Monday, but sometimes more! (See calendar).
What are the rules?
1. You must memorize
the Scout Oath, Law, Motto and Slogan, know what they mean, and promise
to always do your best.
2. Obey your patrol leader, senior patrol leader, parents and adult
leaders. It will soon be your turn to be a leader, and you will want the
same treatment.
3. Always have FUN, and always be considerate of others.
