We strive to help boys develop leadership and citizenship skills necessary to succeed in society. The key to the success of Troop 111 is a strong, active, boy led troop, facilitated by a committed group of parents willing to give their time and effort to Scouts and to Scouting through committee work. The adults form a strong, organized committee dedicated to creating and providing the infrastructu
re and opportunities to allow the boys to manage their troop. The Scouts manage the troop, the parents manage the committee. Our focus is on boys teaching boys and boys leading boys. Adults may need to teach certain skills, or first time skills. After that we will encourage Scouts to teach each other. Anne and Joachim, Knights of Columbus. In keeping with the Boy Scout Law we promote an environment of Reverence and spiritual growth. Our troop is action and experience oriented. Skills are better learned by first hand participation, not "book learning." As much as possible, we will try to use the outdoors as our classroom. After all, the best part of 'Scouting' is 'Outing'! But Scouting is more than just a fun outdoor program. It's a 'game with a purpose." The Boy Scouts of America expresses that purpose as 'The Aims of Scouting'
