Why join troop 201

Hopefully, this exorcises any lingering doubts you have had about joining us.

Scouting's positive impact on youth is indescribable, bottomless, enormous, eternal, boundless, immense, incalculable, perpetual, vast, unlimited, and infinite. Aside from outdoor skills, scouting also boosts academics, confidence, ethics, leadership, citizenship, and independence.

Leaders

Our leaders are specifically trained to assist youth and have been doing so for well over twenty years, some even before being involved with scouting. In addition to this, they are also the only scout leaders in the area to speak Cantonese.

Experiences

Children of scouting age typically don't do anything interesting. They spend countless hours slowly deteriorating in school and waste the rest of their lives on social media or games. In contrast, scouts embark on immeasurable adventures and learn many life skills. Scouting allows normally impossible things.

People

Shared experiences create friendships, which scouting has an abundance of. One of the best rewards of scouting activities is the people you meet, including other scouts, their families, and scout leaders. Many people are in scouting, which means you can experience a variety of perspectives on the world.

In addition to peers, scouting exposes youth to competent, friendly adults. Teenagers greatly benefit from adult role models in addition to their parents. Our troop's glorious leaders will no doubt provide top-tier mentoring.

Skills

Most youth feel they miss out on critical life skills. Scouting ameliorates this, teaching vital skills such as fitness, aquatics, tools, hiking, first aid, outdoor ethics, cooking, personal safety, leadership, citizenship, nature, emergency preparedness, navigation, and camping through dozens of requirements on the road to the eagle. In addition, there are over a hundred merit badges on countless topics. You will learn something from our extraordinarily knowledgeable and experienced leaders.

Morality

Youth, and teenagers especially, make questionable decisions. While scouting will not make them perfect, it will at least provide a head start. Our divine commandments, the Scout Oath and Scout Law, will doubtless bestow a solid and enduring moral foundation. Our moderately harsh but eternally and perfectly just leaders and adults will make sure scouts follow these rules.

Furthermore, scouting provides countless volunteering opportunities, ensuring youth help others at all times.

Personal management

Obtaining the Eagle Scout rank means finishing hundreds of requirements, getting 21 merit badges, and finishing an Eagle service project before reaching 18 years of age. While obviously burdensome, it makes all scouts capable of impeccably managing their lives. There are many opportunities to practice planning, including dozens of campouts. All of this enables youth to enter adulthood prepared.

Leadership

Scouting emphasizes leadership through requirements and troop and patrol leadership roles. There is an abundance of chances to improve leadership in a safe environment. Additionally, our empyrean leaders will serve as quintessential role models.

Life

Obtaining the Eagle Scout rank helps with college admissions, scholarships, job applications, and military admissions. Mentioning it in college applications massively increases the chance of acceptance, even when lacking in other factors. Similarly, employers instantly know the kind of person you are when they see you are an Eagle Scout. In addition, many scholarships are offered exclusively to Eagle Scouts, which means free money in exchange for a bit of commitment.
