Troop Meeting Recap

Good Evening, Arrow Families! Scoutmaster Jason here – Thank you all for attending tonight’s Troop Meetings. I wanted to offer a quick explanation of what you all witnessed tonight. As you can tell, the excitement and energy (aka Chaos) is real at the troop level. And that’s a good thing (usually). Scouts BSA Troops are led by the youth scouts. As you saw, the older scouts were not only teaching the knots, but they were also doing their best to coordinate a group of over 30 scouts. It will not be a perfectly well-oiled machine most of the time, and that’s perfectly normal. This is the experience young men and women need to be successful later in life. Planning a meeting/event, visualizing how it will…

Den Meeting tonight!

Hello Arrow families – hope you are enjoying the fall break! Tonight we will begin learning about PATROL LEADERSHIP – the way Scouting enables young leaders by allowing them to take the lead within groups of Scouts known as Patrols. Your Scout will surprise you with what they can do on their own – just like this summer at Webelos camp, when every single scout who attended was able to get themselves dressed in full Class A uniform for flag service each morning (even though some can’t get this all together for Pack Meetings at home, LOL.)  We received several compliments on how our Arrows/Webelos were self-sufficient – they are growing up! I know, it seems like just yesterday that they were Tigers or Wolves…
