A Few Things We Learn

Citizenship

Our scouts learn how to be good citizens to our community, society, nation and world.

We learn what it means to be a citizen and how our beliefs, values and behaviors affects others in our community, nationn and world.

Life Skills

Our scouts learn many life skills. The biggest of these is leadership qualities.

At meetings and during activities socuts will learn several other skills that will serve them thoughout life including cooking, first aid, time and money management.

Outdoor Skills

Our scouts will learn many outdoor skills. From cooking and camping to fire building and axe skills.

They will learn what is needed to have safe and fun outdoor experiences from local hikes to high adventures.

Troop 3737 has access to a few uniform closets so any scout in need of uniform can get one.

Uniforms

Troop 3737 is a full uniform troop. Uniform inspections may occur during Troop meetings and your scout’s own and patrol’s inspection performance may be compared to others.

• CLASS A / DRESS – Required for troop meetings, ceremonies, courts of honor, Board of reviews . It includes Tan Scout shirt, all insignia, Scout pants/shorts, merit badge sash (doesn’t need to be worn to troop meeting), troop infinity scarf. For summer camp scout shorts and socks are preferred. Girls may also wear scout (olive/scout green) skorts/skirts/capris. The troop has several uniform parts that they can loan out. If your scout outgrows a uniform, consider donating it to the troop for future scouts to use. Scouts will be given a troop infinity scarf at their first court of honor. If they lose these they can purchase replacements through the scoutmaster, at a cost.

• CLASS B – Required for outdoor activities, campouts, service projects, fundraising events and other outings. This is a blue troop tee shirt. These are given to the scout when they join, at special events, or other times during the year. Troop t-shirts are also available for purchase. For those that have them a troop 37 tee is also acceptable.

The Girls will help develop any dress codes beyond this for meetings, events and campouts.
