The Scout program helps youth expand their leadership skills and gain self confidence.
We have an excellent leadership team in place with many years of scouting experience and lots of enthusiasm. And want to ensure that you have an opportunity to input to our plans and understand some adjustments we plan to make this year in scouts. A great scout year is always a 2 way street of expectations and commitments between the Scouts, Leaders and Parents.
Thanks for your interest and support
Yours in Scouting:Troop Scouter Mike
