Patrol Leader's Council:
Patrol Leader's Council:
Scouts take turns being in charge of their patrol in order to gain leadership experience. Our troop is scout-led; that means the scouts plan and lead most of our meetings and events.
They have the support of a large group of adult volunteers and mentors to help them do their best.
Patrol Leaders Council meets the first Tuesday of each month during the school year. Meetings begin at 6:30 pm and pizza is served.
Other Activities:
Other Activities:
We are a VERY active troop. We generally have a campout each month and attend a week of camp during the summer.
Our girls also work with other girl troops in our area and attend growth opportunities such as National Youth Leadership Training.
We rotate annually through high-adventure opportunities around the U.S. In 2023, Troops 88/ 888 will attend the Summit Betchel Reserve.
Meet our Adult Leadership
Meet our Adult Leadership
While one of the core benefits of Scouting is that it is youth-led, it still requires that assistance of trained, capable volunteers to make sure every event is safe and meets the mission and aims of Scouting.
Our adult leaders are the moms, dads, and grandparents of the scouts in our Troop. Many were Eagle Scouts themselves; ALL took the time to complete the BSA training. To meet our leaders or find out more about how you can contribute, click here.

Service, community engagement and leadership development become increasingly important parts of the program as youth lead their own activities and work their way toward earning Scouting’s highest rank, Eagle Scout.
