If you would be interested in establishing a Boy Scout Troop at St. Andrew, please contact Bill Leach or Tom Gotschall. At this time, we expect to begin recruiting by the Spring of 2010.

Boy Scouting, one of the traditional membership divisions of the BSA, is available to boys who have earned the Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old or have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10, or who are 11, but not yet 18 years old.

The program achieves the BSA's objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness.

Scout Oath (or Promise)

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law

A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
