Scouts who are 18 or older may become adult leaders in the troop upon approval of the troop committee. Contact the Scout Master George Burdine, to join. What is Boy Scouts? The Boy Scouts is a community program with the purpose of providing boys and young adults an effective educational program designed to build desirable qualities of character, to train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, to develop personal fitness, and to teach how to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. The troop meets at St Mark's UMC every Tuesday, 7:00-830pm.

100 years ago, Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell, founded the Scouting Movement in England. His goal was to help make the youth of the day more self sufficient and to be ready to take over the leadership responsibilities at home as well as in the communities in which the boy's lived during times of war.
