Avenue School on Friday evenings at 7:15 pm. The Troop is a youth run organization
stressing leadership, service, duty to God and Country, education,
outdoor skills, and high adventure. Our troop has a fine reputation
for scout craft skills and community service. Many of our scouts have
reached the rank of Eagle Scout.
Our troop maintains a quality advancement program for
all ranks and skills. Youth members lead the troop in all areas of activities and instruction. Youth members
may explore special areas of interest in the merit badge program in addition to working on rank advancement.
Regular outings are held involving camping, hiking, climbing, rafting, canoeing, nature, education, history
