Frequently Asked Questions

But let's face it, if you are looking at this page you're probably already part of our troop.


Eagle Court of Honor, 2006

  • What are the membership requirements? - Boys - The program is for those who have reached their 10th bithday or have entered 5th grade, up until age 18. YOUNGER BOYS (1st GRADE - 4th GRADE) SHOULD CHECK THE CUB SCOUT PROGRAM. Adults - The program encourages adults to join as leaders.
  • Do I have to start in Cub Scouts? - No, the programs are separate. We hope that a boy would begin Scouting at age six, but it's not necessary.
  • So what do Scouts do? - Scouts are focused on learning the Scout way. They are striving for achievement, mainly directed by the Scout Handbook.
  • How much does it cost?- Just 4$ per boy (not including campouts). You can also have an account in the troop. You add money into it by particapating in popcorn and other activities. You don't always have to pay every day, you can wait, but the bill will add up.
  • When and where do I meet for scouts?- We meet at Good Shepard School in the art room every tuesday from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. If you don't know where the school is go back to the home page and click on map.
