About the BSA
The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations.
The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
For over a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun.
The Boy Scouts of America believes -and, through our century of experience, knows- that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
About Troop 193
The purpose of Boy Scout Troop 193 is to provide an effective program, which will instill in its Scouts the desirable qualities of character, train them in the responsibilities of being an involved citizen, and help develop their personal fitness. These goals will be achieved through emphasizing the Boy Scout Oath and Law, teaching the Boy Scout skills: first aid, survival, citizenship and leadership; as well as teamwork and self-confidence.
Emphasis is placed on activities planned and executed by the boys themselves with guidance from the Scoutmaster and his assistants. It is a program for boys, run by boys. As troop members become more experienced, they are encouraged to take leadership positions within the troop to help plan and run the various activities.
Volunteer Lead
The Boy Scouts of America relies on dedicated volunteers to promote its mission of preparing young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, nearly 1.2 million adults provide leadership and mentoring to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers. Through the dedication of these many volunteers, the BSA remains the foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training in America.
We invite you to become a volunteer and share in the positive experiences of the Scouting program at Troop 193.
