To ensure the safety of our youth and maintain full compliance with Scouting America’s Barriers to Abuse policies, all adults attending any troop overnight campout must be officially registered adult leaders. Registration requires completing Safeguarding Youth Training and a background check.
Please note that council approval typically takes 1 to 2 weeks (and can take longer during peak season), so please plan ahead if you intend to camp with us!

A quick reminder to bring your handbooks to troop meetings. There is often time to work on rank requirements, so you need your book to record your achievements. At meetings, scouts are shown and taught an advancement skill. Scouts can practice on their own with the help of their handbook and other scouts. At a later meeting, scouts can demonstrate the skill to a leader, who will sign it off in their handbook.
