Here are some of the considerations that scouts and parents have told us make Troop 591 right for them:

• Experienced Scout Leadership - we have great depth in our scout leadership.
• Involved Adult Guidance - adults are active in the troop, but not in leading it.  They let the scouts design and run the programs -- and make their own mistakes.  The adults are there to make sure everyone stays safe and offer guidance when necessary.
• Active programs for scouts of all ages and ranks - we don't just focus on older venturing activities, but rather well-balanced programs that offer challenges and fun for scouts of all abilities and ranks.
• True mentoring of scouts by scouts - by mixing scouts of all ages in the patrols, we offer additional opportunities for younger scouts to learn from older scouts -- and for older scouts to demonstrate leadership.
• Community service - we have a focus on community service and giving back.  Our scouts seek out worthy projects including clearing trails and working at local food banks.

Our Patrols

We currently have 2 patrols -- the ".coms" and the "Ice Dragons," each with scouts ranging from 11 to 17.  New scouts learn to cook and help out in the patrol during campouts and other patrol activities from the older scouts.
