 Summary: Scouting is a great way to learn many life skills:  leadership, ethics, teamwork, responsibility, environmental consciousness, and self sufficiency.  It is also a great place to make new friends.  None of this will happen, however,  if the scouts aren't having fun.  It is our goal to keep Troop 87 as "boy led" as possible while keeping them on track toward their advancements in a safe and respectful manner.  We want to make this as fun as possible in order to maintain their interest in the program.
 Camping Motto: Hiking is an ancient and honorable mode of transportation.

 Summary: Some of the most memorable times I had in my youth involved
Scouting. The fun I had in camping spanned backpacking at Philmont to
whitewater canoeing, to many, many  memorable campouts. Boy Scouting is
COOL because it teaches the boys lifetime lessons while they are having fun
so they don't realize it. Organized Sports Teams are great in that they
teach physical skills, teamwork and good sportsmanship. However, Scouting
teaches so many additional skills, places them in the company of many good
role models, gives the boys a moral compass and help makes them tomorrows
leaders.
