We emphasize Scouting skills, and personal growth. By participating in the troop activities, a scout has fun adventures, faces achievable challenges, and gains confidence.
A Scout plans their own advancement and progresses at their own pace. Steps in advancement help a Scout achieve self-reliance and the ability to help others.
The first rank of Scouting can be earned as soon as youths join a troop by applying and memorizing some scouting basics.
Becoming a Tenderfoot provides basic skills to begin preparing the Scout for higher adventure outings.
Building their outdoor survival and camping skills, new skills are mastered. One should be able to lead a hike, care for equipment, set up a campsite, and perform basic first aid.
Having learned all the outdoor skills, First Class Scouts can fend for themselves in the wild, plan and prepare meals, and provide first aid for most situations.
The Star rank is attained with leadership, participation, service, and advancement through merit badges. The Scout now moves from being a learner to being a leader.
