We are happy that you are considering joining Boy Scout Troop 57. It is our hope that you will find your time with us is a rewarding and, most of all, fun experience in which to continue or begin your Scouting adventure.

In order to join the Boy Scouts of America a boy must be 11 years old, or have completed the fifth grade and be at least 10 years old, or have earned the Arrow of Light Award and be at least 10 years old. Prior to this time the boy can participant in the Cub Scout Program. A boy can remain active in a Boy Scout Troop until his 18th birthday.

We have an active program, attempting to camp or hike one weekend out of each month and to schedule as many varied camping locations and experiences as possible throughout the year.

We encourage parents to consider a role in which they can best use their talents and skills (i.e., Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster, Committee Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Fund raising, Advancement, Activities Chairs, Transportation, Merit Badge Counselors, or as an assistant to one of these positions). We have found that in most cases the Scouts who have parents who take an active role in the Troop's leadership are the Scouts who make a strong commitment to and get the most of their Scouting experience. There are training classes to get you started from Fast Start, to Scoutmaster Fundamentals (North Star), to more advanced (Woodbadge) training. All of the current adults started out where you are--so just jump right up and ask the Scoutmaster or Committee Chair how you can help.
