Thank you for visiting the Troop 341 website and the Scouting adventure we provide our scouts. Troop 341 is a boy lead troop and the scout leaders will make sure that your experiences in Scouting will be fun, exciting, and everything you imagined Scouting would be. The mission of Troop 341 is to serve others by helping to instill values in young people, to prepare them to make ethical choices over their lifetime and achieve their full potential. The Troop 341 Scouting experience helps boys become men. Scouting is, of course, only one of many influences in life, including the family, church, school, and others, that shape the boy as he grows into manhood. Troop 341 has created a safe environment for all scouts and welcomes all parent involvement.

The Troop 341 Scouting program will help your boys grow by emphasizing three basic goals:

•  Building character and leadership

•  Fostering citizenship, and

•  Developing physical, mental and moral fitness

The values we strive to instill are based on those found in the Scout Oath, Law, Motto, and Slogan.

Troop 341 Scouting program is Action Oriented - our program is fun. Boys learn about things they're interested in by actually doing them. We build on the love of the outdoors that is in most every boy and teaches him to survive under less than ideal conditions, to respect the land, water, and air that surrounds him. This program lets the Scout explore, develop new interests, increase his knowledge, and progress in rank and leadership at his own pace. It must be emphasized, despite the abundant help available to a boy from the adult leaders, other unit members, and his parents; it is up to the Scout how much or how little he gets out of Scouting

The Scout Oath and Law Govern Troop 341 . The words in the Oath and Law hold a special significance to a Boy Scout. They are the standard, the road map, and the barometer of how well our Scouts understand the basic goals highlighted above. Our new Scouts will be expected to learn the words of the Oath and Law almost immediately and to begin showing your understanding of them in your daily living for the rest of your life.

The scout leadership is in the process of selecting the 2005 summer camp. In addition to traditional Boy Scout summer camp we are offering the following opportunities:
