Join Troop 251
The Boy Scouts of America was incorporated to provide a program for community organizations that offers effective character, citizenship, and personal fitness training for youth. It is available to boys and girls who have earned the Arrow of Light Award (Cub Scouts) or have completed the fifth grade, or who are 11 through 17 years old . The program achieves the BSA’s objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness qualities among youth by focusing on a vigorous program of outdoor activities.
If you meet these basic requirements and are interested in joining our troop, simply attend a meeting. Approach anyone in a Scout uniform and they will direct you to our Scoutmaster.
The normal Troop meeting time is Monday from 7:00pm – 8:30pm at the Cabin at Camp Char Le Maude on Barton Lake during the warmer months (March thru October).

Adult Volunteers
Troop 251 is always in need of volunteer leaders. Both men and women, are involved in the Scouting program.

Who Pays for It?
Expenses are shared by the Scout, his/her parents, the troop, and the Local Council (through community donations). Boys are encouraged to earn money whenever possible to pay their own expenses… this can be accomplished on their own and/or thru fundraisers sponsored by the Troop. Fund raisers include the annual BSA popcorn sale, spaghetti dinners, poinsettia & Christmas Tree sales during the holidays, and many others.
