Troop Mission:

Troop 12 seeks to provide a fun and structured environment in which scouts learn through experience, outdoor skills and take responsibility in leadership roles. By encouraging everyone to "do their part" (that includes parents and Scoutmasters!!) in the troop we hope to have the boys lead the troop and lead it successfully. Scouts and leaders make a commitment to do our best to ensure that everyone advances through scouts and that the troop communicates and plans to the best of our ability. But most of all, troop 12 seeks to provide an all around good experience for the boys while having fun and camping out.
