The Eagle Scout Rank

Submitted by djfreit on Sat, 12/06/2014 - 13:17

Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). A Scout who attains this rank is called an Eagle Scout or Eagle. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than 2 million young men. The title of Eagle Scout is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase “Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.”

Patrols - What are they?

Patrols are typically made up of 5-8 Scouts. We try to have an Assistant Scoutmaster that works with each Patrol as a Patrol Adviser/Coach.

Twice a year, Patrols have elections to fill the following Leadership positions: - Patrol Leader, - Assistant Patrol Leader, & - Patrol Quartermaster. The Patrol Leader is part of the Patrol Leaders' Council (PLC).

Committee Meetings - What are they & when are they held?

Committee Meetings are currently held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month -- with the exceptions of July & December. (We don't have a Committee Meeting those months.) These meetings are normally held in the Fellowship Hall downstairs next to the kitchen at Milwaukie Presbyterian Church (where our Troop regularly meets). They start at 7:00 pm & last until approximately 8:30 pm.

Please see the Troop Calendar for more details.
