Troop 10 is an active mid-size troop located at St. Benedict Catholic Church. We have a very diverse group of
boys in our Troop from different schools and backgrounds. We also have an exceptional percentage of our
boys who earn their Eagle rank (110 and counting!).
There are many reasons to consider our Troop including:
· Troop 10 is proud to be boy-led, always. Scouts advance through the ranks and earn Merit Badges at their
own pace and comfort level.
· Our Troop is large enough to offer many leadership opportunities, but small enough to make sure your Scout
has a personal experience.
· Troop 10 has a campout scheduled every month with different activities for each campout (ex. rock climbing,
water sports, biking, fishing, shooting sports, aviation, skiing, etc). The boys choose what kind of campouts
they are interested in having. Not all boys go to every campout, but they have the opportunity to camp every
month. Campouts often include tiered programming to challenge younger AND older Scouts.
· Troop 10 has a First-Year campout every spring to introduce them to camping with the Patrol method. They
get a good start learning basic scouting skills and achieving requirements toward their first rank.
· Summer Camp – The Troop attends a week-long summer camp every year. The boys LOVE summer camp. The
location rotates, but there is always a first-year program to get new Scouts started. In subsequent years, they
individually get to choose which merit badges and activities they want to do.
· High Adventure – another opportunity for older scouts each summer. Scouts can travel to Philmont, Northern
Tier, Sea Base or Summit.
In my experience, Troop 10 is a great group of boys with dedicated adult leaders committed to creating the best
experience possible. I have two sons that have enjoyed Scouting for 12 years now. As a mom, I have witnessed
my boys become more responsible, turn into leaders, and are so much better prepared for life after high school
because of being a Boy Scout in Troop 10.
