Troop 947’s Approach

Troop 947 focuses on a well rounded program led by experienced boys within the troop. The Patrol Leader Council, chaired by the Senior Patrol Leader, develops a plan of activities that will provide the troop members a fun way to meet the troop mission statement. The PLC is guided by the Scoutmaster and the activity plan is reviewed and approved by the Adult Troop Committee. Execution of the approved plan by the troop members provides opportunities to build scouting and leadership skills preparing the boys for rank advancement and increased responsibility. Adult leadership provides the troop with guidance and support in a way that allows the boys to feel ownership and growth with the benefit of a solid safety net beneath them.

Objective of Boy Scouting

Through the Scout Oath and Law the following objectives are met.

  • Strengthening Character
  • Personal Fitness
  • Good Citizenship

Troop 947’s Mission Statement

Provide the community with a program for boys that influences the development of good character, encourages spiritual growth, develops a high degree of self-reliance, and prepares them to participate in and give leadership to American society.
