Our membership is what we are all here for!  Without the youth, we would have no program.  However, we will always have room for more youth in the program!

Please contact us for RECRUITING resources. We provide printed colored flyers, mail postcards to potential Scouts and hold rallies for new members.

GREAT CAMPING
There are endless resources available for all levels of camping. Click on New Horizons Camping Tips to find lots of great information to help you make that camping trip just right!

IMPORTANT!
For Your Scouts’ Safety (& Yours)

• Be sure that EVERY Scout and adult has a current BSA Medical Form!  Keep copies in a troop binder.
• Check the forms before leaving on every outing!  Don’t just assume that they are all there...Have the troop leader bring the binder.
• On outings, have an adult take charge of ALL youth medications (in original containers), keep secured, and dispense as prescribed.
