So Many Outings each Month - Which is Most Important for my Scout?

Parents have wondered about this question many times:

  1. If your Scout has not reached First Class Rank, then the most important Outing for him is the monthly Troop Outing. These outings are the best place for completing Trail to First Class requirements.
  2. Second, would be helping the Troop with recruiting efforts. For example, going to Webelos Woods or an event where your Scout will get to interact with Webelos. The health of the Troop is dependent upon all of us doing our part to recruit new Scouts.
  3. Next, choose from the other fun activities that can be found on the Troop Calendar or the Council's Newsletter.
  4. Finally, there are the Patrol Outings (like going to see the Timbers or Blazers). These are important but should not be seen as more important than the monthly Troop Outings.

Scouts are of course welcome to do all of the Events, but not many of us can achieve that.
