Thank you for supporting Boy Scout Troop 51

Thinking about Boys Scouts?  Want to have great outdoor experiences?  Want to create memories that will last a life time?

Troop 51’s annual Open House nights are on November 30, 2016 & January 18, 2017 at Floris United Methodist Church. At our Open House, prospective Boy Scouts will get to participate in a live Scout meeting! They will work directly with one of our patrols, where they will be taught Scout skills, like first aid, knot tying, lashings and a whole lot more. Each night ends with a game and refreshments.

Troop 51 meets every week on Wednesday night from 7:15 to 8:30.  We hold one campout each month that include events such as cave exploration, climbing, and a full weekend of rifle and shotgun shooting.  All of our events are “age neutral”, meaning that whether your 10 or 100, we will have an event that you can participate in.  Troop 51 is also very family oriented.  We encourage you to bring along your other family members to all the events and enjoy them as a family!

In addition to all of our exciting camping opportunities, Troop 51 attends summer camp annually and we sponsor 1 to 2 BSA high adventure trips, where Scouts can participate in back country hiking, 12 day canoeing adventures and even scuba diving and sailing!

If you are looking for an outdoor focused troop that balances the demands of both Scouting and all of your Scout’s extracurricular activities, then Troop 51 is the right troop for you!

If you are coming to either or both Open Houses, let us know here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5K97BLN.

Scouts looking for additional training to increase your skills have opportunities in the coming months (March to September 2016).

• Advancement: Life-to-Eagle Seminar (March 5)

• Scout Leadership Training
  • Bear Claw Leadership Conference (March 19)
  • National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) / Impeesa (June 19-24, July 10-15, or July 31–August 5)
