Boy Scout Troop 806

Troop 806 meets Monday nights throughout the year from 6:30 to 8:00PM, with the exception of some holiday weeks. Most meetings between September and April will be held in the social hall of First United Methodist Church. From May through August, meetings are held in Ewing Park.

 

Camping and Outings

For all Boy Scouts, camping and the other outdoor experiences are a major part of the Scouting Tradition. As such, the Troop will plan at least one outing per month. These will include campouts, hikes, cycling trips, and a variety of other opportunities. Boy Scouting is very different from Cub Scouting or Webelos with regard to outings! While a group of parents and leaders accompany the Scouts on every outing, the Scouts camp with their patrols and not with their parents. Boy Scout camping activities center on the patrol, where boys learn teamwork, leadership, and camping skills. It is important that adults are not involved in patrol activities such as site selection, tent pitching, meal preparation, and anything else where boys get to practice decision-making. More experienced Scouts will provide assistance to those new to the patrol and will provide guidance on trips. Troop leaders step in only if it is a matter of immediate safety or if the mistake will be immediately costly. All members of the Troop will observe the outdoor code. This will include leaving the campsite in better condition than it was found.
