Troop 571 Iron Scouts

Troop 571 Iron Scouts Troop 571 in Sammamish, Washington is known as the "Iron Scouts" and is a strong scout-led troop. Check us out. Tier, Philmont & Sea Base).

Troop 571 is one of the largest and most active troops in the region. We have a strong, scout-led program, with support from a large group of fully-trained BSA adult advisors. Our year-long program is Scout defined and led, and has outings for all age groups in the Troop. Our summertime program has high adventure for 1st year Scouts (Tenderfoot Trail), 2nd year Scouts (Alpine Adventure), and other

high adventure outings for older Scouts (Cascade Challenge 50 & 75 milers, Philmont, Northern Tier and Sea Base). Troop 571’s Mission, Vision & Views On What Makes a Good Program:
(as determined by Eagles’ Nest members)
- The mission of Troop 571 is to prepare young men with the tools and methods of leadership development - by providing a supportive environment, to allow them to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime, and instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

- The vision for Troop 571 is to provide every enrolled youth the opportunity to grow as a person, to learn new skills, and to aid the youth in personal advancement – both in Scouting, and in life.

- Diverse/Overall Program – The Eagles felt that a good, diverse, organized program was beneficial to the unit. With the diverse types of outings, which range from events like the Museum of Flight “Camp-In”, to all of our High Adventure treks - there is something for everyone.

- Monthly Outings – All Troop - The point here is that all of the outings blend the young men of various age groups together, versus just an older or younger Scout outing. They felt it was critical for the older Scouts to demonstrate, and practice, leadership.

- High Adventure – Keep the entire/extensive, productive program, Tenderfoot Trail, Alpine Adventure, Cascade Challenge and all of the National Bases (N. This is a MAJOR capability, and retention means, within Troop 571’s overall program. It is something the boys really enjoy, and keeps then engaged.

- Motivators (what brings and keeps boys engaged in the program) - Friendship, OA, Early Scout Advancement, Lots of Events on Calendar, Setting and Achieving Goals.
