4 Purpose of Scouting To Prepare Young People to Make Ethical Choices over Their Lifetime by Instilling in Them the Values of The Scout Oath and Law Sir Robert Baden Powell

5 Focus of Boy Scouts It s About the Boys! Fun with a purpose

6 Troop History The troop was founded in Troop 777 at Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, it wasn't a large troop, but it was growing and had some good adult leaders. Unfortunately, the facilities at that time were poor and we were meeting in a very small classroom. Troop 15 at St. Andrews United Methodist Church had very good meeting facilities, but almost no adult leadership. They decided to do something that had never been done before, combine the two troops into a new troop, with two churches of different denominations as sponsors. The Scout Office was against and assured them that the troop would lose members and ultimately fail. The rest, as they say, is history.
