Brotherhood

More than a troop. A family.

  • A place where every Scout belongs
  • Lifelong friendships
  • Older Scouts mentor younger Scouts
  • Strong values and character
Camping is only the beginning

The adventure is what they remember. The growth is what they take with them.

A Scout packs his own gear. He cooks for his patrol. He takes a turn leading. He helps a younger Scout. He solves problems when the plan changes. He serves his community and discovers that people are counting on him.

Those experiences build confidence, judgment, resilience, responsibility and character. We don't simply tell Scouts to become leaders—we give them opportunities to lead.

“Troop 826 gave me more than badges and camping trips—it gave me confidence, lifelong friends, and the skills to lead. It shaped who I am today.”
— Dominic, Eagle Scout, Class of 2018
