HOW IT WORKS:


WEEKLY MEETINGS:

Scouts discuss upcoming events, plan activities, and work on skills for rank or merit badges. Each meeting typically includes a mix of games, discussions on safety and outdoor ethics, and practicing skills in areas like knots, camping, or first aid. It’s a great opportunity to bond, share ideas, and grow as a scout while having fun!

MONTHLY EVENTS:

Scouts plan and implement monthly outdoor adventures, from camping under the stars to challenging hikes and backpacking trips. These experiences are designed to cultivate confidence and independence, all while propelling them closer to their scouting ambitions.

QUICK FAQS

  • Yes, the name has changed but it is the same great program.

  • To join, youth must meet one of the following criteria:

    1. Be at least 11 years old.

    2. Are currently in the fifth grade AND register on or after March 1st.

    3. Have earned the Arrow of Light award as a Cub Scout​ AND are at least 10 years old.

  • Costs include registration fees, uniform costs, and camp costs. Troop 1G does organize fundraising opportunities to offset some costs. Contact us for a detailed breakdown of expenses.

  • Troops are scout-led, with Scouts electing their senior patrol leader (SPL) and assistant senior patrol leader (ASPL) and organizing activities through the patrol leader council.

    In a scout-led troop, the youth take charge of planning and leading activities, meetings, and events. While adult leaders are present to offer guidance and ensure safety, scouts develop leadership skills by making decisions and managing troop responsibilities. This approach fosters independence, teamwork, and confidence in our scouts.

  • Troop 1G is youth-led, but never youth-alone.

    Scouts are encouraged to lead, make decisions, solve problems, and grow through real responsibility while trained adult leaders provide structure, supervision, mentorship, and safety throughout every activity.

    All registered adult leaders complete background checks and Youth Protection Training through Scouting America, with many also completing additional outdoor and safety training.

    We work hard to create an environment that is welcoming, organized, supportive, and encouraging for both scouts and families. Especially those who are completely new to scouting or camping.
