      In February 2010, the Boy Scouts of America will celebrate 100 years as an organization. Founded as an outlet to prepare every eligible youth in America to become a participating citizen and leader, BSA has more than fulfilled its mission. Today, as we celebrate our first 100 years, we not on only reflect on our rich history, but lay the foundation for a strong future, as well.

FUN, CHALLENGE and ADVENTURE

Scouts from our troop embark on adventures of a lifetime. Recently we traveled to the Bahamas on a week-long sailing trip. Next year we will backpack in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico and Canoe through the Adirondack Park of New York . Now's the time to get involved!
