Has your son and entire family enjoyed being on the Scouting journey?

Have you seen the life skills that your son has learned which are forging his character during his formative years? The 12 points of the scout law are the principles that guide scouts in their daily life. The Scout Law was inspired by the Bushido code of Japanese Samurai, the laws of honor of American Indians, and the code of chivalry of European knights.

The scout law is embedded in our ethos and will carry on for a life time....These words are recited at every Troop 194 meeting

Trustworthy: Tell the truth and keep promises
Loyal: Show care for family, friends, and community
Helpful: Volunteer to help others without expecting anything in return
Friendly: Be a friend to everyone
Courteous: Be polite and use good manners
Kind: Treat others as you want to be treated
Obedient: Follow rules and laws
Cheerful: Look for the bright side of life
Thrifty: Be careful with money, time, and resources
Brave: Face difficult situations and do what's right
Clean: Keep your body and mind fit, and help keep your community clean
Reverent: Be faithful in your religious duties
