"Scouting brings out the best in each of us. Live what you've learned and will continue to learn. Help others to hike the trails, to keep steadfast in the paths of truth, of honor, of duty, that all of you can soar together on eagles' wings. You are part of a mighty army of youth, even a royal army, and every organization, to be successful, has an honored tradition to uphold. May you uphold Scouting's tradition, for it can be as a lighthouse beacon in the world of stormy seas, it can be a motivation to prepare for your role in life, it can be a yardstick against which you measure your accomplishments." ~President Thomas S. Monson--2010

Welcome

The goal in creating this website is quite simple: to improve communication between the young men, their parents, and the leaders who are working with them.  Ideally we would like to see every young man earn his Eagle Scout Award.  In my experience I have found that the more the parents are involved and informed, the more likely the young man is to earn this award.  On this site you will see quotes from our current and a couple of previous prophets, expressing some of their beliefs relating to the importance of scouting.  I personally have a testimony of the role that scouting can play in a young man’s life because I know what it has done for me, and I have seen it change young men when they catch the vision.
 
Now as to what you can expect from this site.  On this site you will see the most up to date information that I can give in relation to what is planned for the young men.  When campouts are scheduled, you will see them posted here.  When courts of honor are scheduled, you will see them posted here.  Information relating to summer camp will be posted here.  Merit badge clinic information will be posted here.  At the bottom of this web page you will find a calendar with events and dates on it.  If you have any questions, please contact me.
Thank you for your time.
