Check out this awesome video of one of Troop 378's own Life Scouts working on his way towards Eagle Scout!

Sam Gering assembled and installed two picnic tables at the Churchyard Garden with help from his dad and grandfather. His project is a gift to the community ...

Advancement through ranks and recognition for achievement are two key parts of the Troop 378 program. Our goal is to provide each Scout the opportunity to learn the skills needed to advance.

Each Scout must then take responsibility for applying those skills, having their requirements signed off and recorded, and taking the initiative to pursue their course of advancement. The ranks and requirements to advance are described in detail in the Scout Handbook.

The Patrol is the "heart" of all Scouting. A Scout will be assigned to a specific Patrol, and fellow patrol members will plan their activities and outings as a Patrol, either during troop meetings or at a separate time and place of their choice. Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader assignments are rotated, usually twice a year, so opportunities to lead are abundant!

All rank advancement above First Class requires satisfactory leadership service. Scouting offers many opportunities to develop leadership skills; Junior Leader Training is a leadership
training course that is offered by the Troop and the District Council. Dates will be announced by the Troop calendar and qualification and application should be discussed with the
Scoutmaster.

Troop 378 keeps the OUTING in ScOUTING! This is where the Scouts have the experiences that they will remember for a lifetime!

The camping programs are essential elements of the advancement process. Scouting in the outdoors helps to teach self-reliance by utilizing and developing skills such as swimming, camping, hiking, cooking and backpacking. Scouts learn to accommodate group needs as well as to eventually provide group leadership.

The Troop is organized so that older Scouts and trained adults will provide instruction and support as new experiences are encountered. Typical outings include hiking, camping, District Camporees, summer camp, High Adventure programs, and service projects. There is a troop overnight or weekend outing about once a month, and a parent/leader planning meeting in August and January to develop the schedule for the following semester.

Troop Meetings are held weekly, unless otherwise announced, on Monday evenings during the school year (from approximately September through June). A pre-meeting, gathering activity and set-up begins at 6:45 p.m. with the flag ceremony beginning at 7:00 p.m. Meetings typically last until 8:00 p.m.

Regular meetings are held to provide leadership opportunities for Scouts, to plan outings and other troop activities, to enjoy lively games and competition, to provide experiences toward rank advancement and merit badge attainment, to feature occasional outside speakers on a variety of topics of interest, and to reinforce the principles of Scouting. Ceremonies also play an integral part of meetings.
