Scouting is about the Outdoors
While boys appreciate the fun and fellowship of the regular
meetings, outdoor activities play a crucial role in keeping boys interested
and active in the Scouting program. Every leader should be sure there
are plenty of opportunities for boys and their families to experience
the "outing" in "Scouting" by including at least one outdoor activity
per month.

Scouting provides many opportunities for young men
ages 11 through 17 to help plan and participate in rugged
outdoor adventures. From day hikes to Camporees and
summer camp, the troop plans activities that match the
interests and abilities of the Scouts. Older Scouts
may participate in high-adventure programs such as rock
climbing, rappelling, and whitewater rafting. Younger
Scouts may attend summer camp and learn teamwork within
their patrol and troop. Summer camp blends fun program
with advancement requirements to reinforce skills learned
throughout the year. Click here for
