About Us

Troop 526 is a boy run troop.  If you are coming from a Cub Scout program this will be a change for you.  While adults do the planning and run a pack, the boys take the lead in Boy Scouts!  Adults provide the guidence and support to make sure all activites are appropriate and BSA rules are followed. 

We use the patrol method.  Each scout is a member of a patrol.  That patrol elects its own Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader.  The Patrol Leaders meet monthly with the Senior Patrol Leaders and adult leaders to plan events and meetings.  This allows scout to learn how to work as a team and how the lead.

We meet once a week as a Troop.  In addition, patrols meet at various times throughout the month.  Along with the meetings we schedule outings every month.  Outing may include hiking, camping, service projects or other outdoor activities.  In 2008 we have three summer camps scheduled. We are an active troop!

We have various fundraising opportunities scheduled throughout the year.  Each scout has his own account in the troop.  As he earns money it is kept in his account to help pay for expenses such as summer camp and yearly dues.

We cannot cover every question here so please feel free to contact us if you have a question.  You are also welcome to visit us during one of our troop meetings.  Webelo Dens, please let us know if you would like help as you work toward your Arrow of Light!
