Welcome!

           Welcome to Troop 24's website!             

                 

Troop 24 has an active program that includes troop meetings, monthly outdoor outings, service to community, and family fun nights.  The troop meets on Tuesday nights at 7:00 pm at St. John Vianney.

Unlike the Cub Scouting program, the Boy Scout troop is run mainly by the youth leadership.  The Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) approves and organizes the troop’s activities with the supervision, guidance and advice of trained adult leaders.  We believe that in order to achieve the goals of Scouting we need to develop the Scouts character, citizenship, and leadership abilities.  This can be accomplished by providing proper training to the Scouts and by giving them the responsibility of organizing and using the Troop Program Guides for advancement.  It is our intent to allow the Scouts to try, occasionally fail, and more often succeed through their own individual and combined team efforts.  We invite every boy to join in our fellowship for friendship, fun, and adventure.  In turn, we offer every boy the chance to grow in the Scouting Spirit.
