Explorers & Senior ExplorersBoys and girls may be members between ages 11 – 17. Their motto is “Stand Ready”.
Your child will build confidence and skills through outdoor adventures including camping, bike trips, hiking, archery, pelletry, pioneering, first aid, cooking, and canoeing. The troop is made up of small groups called a patrol with 6-8 members each. Each patrol is lead by a Patrol Leader who is an experienced member of the troop. At camp, under adult supervision, the members of the patrol work together to setup their own campsite, plan their menus, buy food, and cook it. Everyone has opportunities to learn leadership and teamwork skills, and how to take more responsibility for themselves. The outdoors is where Scouting happens. We will have weekend camps, and other weekend activities, such as hikes, and bike trips. The Explorer Troop has begun camping in hammocks in an effort to move to more lightweight gear so that we can do more backpacking trips. This year we began learning American Sign Language (ASL), and Morse code, we went camping four times, visited a corn maze, learned some knots, worked on compass and map work, learned to light fires, to cook on a propane camp stove, how to safely use knives as tools, and of course first aid. We have many more adventures planned for next year. |
Rover Squires and KnightsA section for men and women over the age of 17 who may also become leaders, but who wish to remain uniformed members of a section. Their motto is: “Service”.
As B-P originally intended, there is no upper age limit. Rovers are organized in a self-organizing Crew. Their motto is put into practice both in the group and in the community. The highest award is the St George Award. Members of the Rover Crew organize their own adventurous outdoor activities under the guidance of adult Advisors, developing leadership and teamwork skills. For those who wish to serve beyond just Rovers, there is the Society of St. Lazarus which encourages service beyond just Scouting. |
