Family Involvement

The family plays a critical role in the development, advancement, and success of each Scout. It is through their encouragement and through the participation of the family as a whole that the boys stay enthused and motivated in the Scouting program. YOUR participation is strongly encouraged and appreciated by both the other boys, and the adult leadership and committee. It has been shown that the most involved and successful Boy Scouts, come from families which have active involvement in their Troop's programs.
