Have you ever climbed a mountain? Do you know how to save a life? Can you survive in the wilderness? Have you ever lived in a igloo for a weekend? Do you know how to build a bridge out of a few trees and some rope?

Boy Scouts Do!

Scouts do all these things and more! Boy Scouts get away from it all! They camp, hike and fish in the great outdoors. They get together in troops, and try out new experiences.

Weekend camping trips. Whitewater canoeing. Hiking expeditions. Wilderness survival. Week long camping at Boy Scout Summer Camp. The possibilities are limitless.

Not only that, but in a Boy Scout Troop, the boys do all the planning and run these adventures. Sure, there's guidance from the adult leaders, but when it comes to getting the job done, Boy Scouts Do!

Get out into the woods - Boy Scouting is designed to take place outdoors. It is in the outdoor setting that Scouts share responsibilities and learn to live with one another. It is here that the skills and activities practiced at troop meetings come alive with purpose. Being close to nature helps Boy Scouts gain an appreciation for God's handiwork and humankind's place in it. The outdoors is the laboratory for Boy Scouts to learn ecology and practice conservation of nature's resources.

Learn and do things that most people don't. Join a Boy Scout Troop in your neighborhood, and be a part of the adventure. Boy Scouting is available to boys 11 through 17 years old, and there is a Troop near you. For more information, or to find a local Troop, contact Hudson Liberty Council at the Council Service Center or call 201-659-2810.

Don't just watch - Do!
