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.

It Takes A Village There’s a good group of families involved with

Troop 246. It’s not just about the boys. In order for the Troop to be successful, it’s about having a good support network of families.
