WHAT DO WE DO?
Boy Scouts decide what they want to do, they plan it, and they lead it. The adult leaders provide logistics support, training, and supervision. Adults do not do things for the Scouts unless it is absolutely necessary or is a legal/safety matter (how else can we expect them to grow). Together we go and have fun.

HOW WE ARE ORGANIZED
The Senior Patrol Leader is the Boy Scout selected to be in charge of the Troop. He is an elected leader and is expected to set the example and to plan troop meetings and help plan out an outdoor program.
New Scouts join Patrols of 8 Scouts which are lead by an elected Patrol Leader. Patrol Leaders lead outings, Scouting skills, training, and advancement. Younger Scouts are mentored and taught by older Scouts under the direction of a Patrol Leader.
High Adventure programs are by an invitation basis to those Senior Scouts meeting minimum skill and age requirements specific to the activity.
The Scoutmaster selects Assistant Scoutmasters, works with a Parent Committee, and oversees the well being of the unit side by side with the Senior Patrol Leader and his staff.
