Our troop works toward three goals:
-
Moral Strength and Character
-
Participatory Citizenship
-
Physical, Mental, and Emotional Fitness
- A well-tuned and healthy body
- A sound mind with the ability to think and reason
- Courage, self-control and respect.
We may define this as what the boy is — his personal qualities, his values, his outlook.
The values we strive to instill are based on these found in the Scout Oath and Law:
Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best;
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Motto
Be Prepared
Scout Slogan
Do a Good Turn Daily
Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Used broadly, citizenship means the boy’s relationship to others. He comes to learn of his obligation to other people, to the society he lives in, and to the government that presides over that society.
