The Boy Scout program has a Boy Scouts of America Organizational Structure that puts boys into groups called patrols with recommended size of from 6 to 8 scouts. Patrols of boys in a community form a troop which is part of a district. Districts combine to make a council - see this page for organization details. A new boy first earns the Scout rank showing that he has joined and is participating in the program. As he enjoys outings with his patrol and demonstrates his expanding skill base, he naturally gains the Tenderfoot rank, followed by 2nd Class and 1st Class ranks. At this point, a scout has learned skills enough to handle himself in the outdoors and begin teaching new scouts. Once a 1st Class rank is reached, the scout continues his trail by performing service deeds and earning merit badges in topics that interest him or that he has decided to explore to reach a higher rank. Summer Camp is the highlight of the year for many scouts. Our troop has attended Many Point Scout Camp every year since the troop was formed. Each year, scouts receive a camp patch and you can see them on my Many Point Scout Camp page. These pages contain information for each specific rank: | ||||
