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?

Jim Noblitt – Scoutmaster                 Eugene Zierk - Scoutmaster

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.
