Welcome to Scouts BSA and Troop 84!

The Scouts BSA program is unlike any other youth program available today, most notably by the fact that adults do not run the troop program, the SCOUTS do. This means that an individual troop's program is imperfect and downright messy at times. It means that plans will change, and failures will happen. It is important to be flexible as the scouts learn how to be leaders.

The main goal of the Scouts BSA program is not to develop good campers or knot tie-ers. The purpose of scouting and the focus of Troop 84 is to develop good leaders. Camping, service projects, and other activities are vehicles toward developing good leadership qualities in boys at an early age. While camping is an activity that young boys often enjoy and is a great opportunity to develop leadership qualities, it is not the only way we can encourage personal growth.

In keeping with the scout led method of scouting, our goal is to have each scout manage his own scouting experience. As such he will need to be able to communicate with troop leaders and we have found email to be very effective. We recommend each scout have his own email address.
