Troop 1214: Growing Leaders

About

What are the “Best Things” About Troop 1214 in Annapolis, MD?
In this “Boy-Led” Troop, we maintain a healthy balance between old fashioned fun and the meaningful work of progressing through the Scout ranks.  Combine this with the healthy monthly excursions to the great outdoors, PLUS the frequent Service Projects to give back to our communities, we provide every member of Troop 1214 unique life experiences that shape them into the leaders of tomorrow while having a good time! Today’s world is busy and complex.  Organized sports certainly have undeniable benefits in providing an outlet for the boundless energy of today’s young men (all too often pent up during “screen activities”) but there is NOTHING that will build character and prepare a boy to become a man in today’s world like Scouting! Join us, for a real “win-win-win” experience!  The Troop meets on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. in Annapolis, MD.

Troop Organization

The Troop is organized and managed by a group of older Scouts and facilitated by a group of highly experienced and trained adult Scouters. The youth leader of the Troop is the Senior Patrol Leader. He is elected each year by the Troop members. The Troop is organized into patrols. Each Patrol consists of a youth Patrol Leader and a youth Assistant Patrol Leader with 4-6 other Scouts. The Patrol Leaders are selected by the adult leaders and they select their assistants. Our summer program has a variety of fun outdoor skills such as: biking, hiking, golf, swimming, canoeing, fishing, and our annual cardboard boat race. We conduct a variety of service projects throughout the year in and around our local community and while camping.
