Boy Scouts
Boy Scouts is the opportunity of a lifetime that is open to all boys age 11-21. Beginning at age 11, Boy Scouting exposes boys to the "real world" and prepares them to meet the challenges of tomorrow's society.
The Boy Scout programs includes training, first aid, cooking, citizenship, crafts, personal management and physical fitness. Boys have the opportunity to earn their choice of over 100 merit badges. By the time a Boy has earned his Eagle Rank, the highest rank in Boy Scouting, prior to age 18, he is a leader, competitor, role model and well-rounded young man.
For boys between 18 and 21 the scouting program offers a Venture Crew concentrating on camping, hunting and fishing.
The Adventure Begins
The Boy Scout program starts after a boy reaches age 11. Normally boys in a Cub Scout Pack bridge to Boy Scouting in the spring of their 5th grade year. Troop 159 has a program designed to provide weekend camping trips monthly and a summer camp experience annually. Older Scouts are eligible to participate in high adventure programs.
