While similar with other troops in adherence to the BSA goals--training youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance,Troop 246 is distinctive in that
We are a small, select troop with
A Unique Approach,
Successful Scouts,
Special High Adventure Opportunities and
A Great Network of Families for Scout
Support.
Small, Select TroopUnique approach
• In the same way that smaller classrooms are better for students, being a smaller troop, and a close group, the boys have more opportunities to test themselves and develop their leadership skills.
• Our troop is strategically looking for a select number of new scouts with the potential to do well, not a large group.
• We are a relaxed troup, but effective. Meetings –every other week on Wednesdays.
Successful Scouts - Achievement• Troop 246 had 7 Eagle Scouts this year. • For the three years before this year, Troop 246
had 8 boys per year become Eagle Scouts. • Only 5% of Scouts in the U.S. earn the rank of
Eagle.
