The “Troop 650 Philosophy”

Troop 650 is a “boy run, boy led” troop. This means that the boys make the majority of the decisions about campouts, hikes, and other activities. It also means that the boys are expected to be self-disciplined and handle issues in a Scout-like manner. The adults are present largely to provide overall direction and the benefit of their experiences to guide the boys to make good decisions. We believe that this approach is consistent with the leadership objectives of Scouts BSA and gives the boys the greatest opportunity to learn from their experiences.
