Troop 81

Important Message

We have 22 boys participating in Troop 81 Boy Scouts. For the last event, Panther Creek backpacking, we had 4 scouts participate. For Raccoon Mountain, September 16,  we have again only 5 Scouts participating. We have committed adult leaders and exciting outdoor activities but if the Scouts don't show up,  they not only short change the troop and their responsibilities to their patrol but they short change themselves and whatever they hope to get out of the program. The patrol method, leadership training, knowledge transfer and fun can not occur if our Scouts don't show up for the outdoor activities which are the core of the Scouting program. If you are a parent, please encourage your Scout to participate is a many programs as possible. If a conflict comes up, talk to the adult leaders as often time we can work around or acommadate working other things into a scouts schedule. To keep your Scout engaged and primed for success on the path to Eagle, he has got to enjoy the experience of the outdoor program.
