Welcome to the Troop 570 web site!
Scouting is camping, hiking, swimming, campfires, and friendship. Scouting is learning about the community, our country, and the world. But most of all, Scouting is FUN! Here is what you need to know about Boy Scout Troop 570.
Meetings
(except as noted in Troop Calendar)
· 7:00 PM in the upper fellowship hall at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church
· Troop Meetings are usually the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Mondays of each month
· Patrol Leader’s Council meeting is on the 4th Monday
· Patrol Meetings at the discretion of the Patrol Leader
· Courts of Honor twice a year, usually in April and October (all parents should attend)
· Monthly Parent meetings on the 1st Monday of every month. Only registered Committee members can vote, if one is called for during a meeting. All parents are encouraged to attend.
Scout Participation
Boys cannot receive the benefits of the Boy Scout program unless they actively participate in Troop meetings and the outdoor program. We understand that homework, sports, church activities, or other commitments will sometimes cause a Scout miss meetings or activities, but regular participation should be encouraged and aided by the parent. Rank advancement to First Class requires participation in at least ten troop activities (other than Troop meetings), three of which must be overnight campouts.
Outdoor Program
The saying goes “three quarters of Scouting is outing”, and the Troop schedules at least one outing per month year around. We hike, car camp, backpack, snowshoe, and attend District events with other Troops like Camporee, Merit Badge Weekend and Klondike. These outings will be some of the best times you will ever have.
