Troop 457 is a boy-run Troop, has approximately 20 Scouts, camps
each month and attends summer camp each June. The Troop is
dedicated in instilling Scout values, building character and having
FUN. Scouts learn essential skills through good programming,
advancements and study diverse fields through the merit badge
program.
For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has helped youth become
more than they ever thought possible. And we’ll continue that
journey into the next century.
The Boy Scout program in the US began in 1910 and currently is
open to boys ages 11-18. Boys learn and grow through the
experiences of camping, hiking, building projects, and community
service. Scouting fosters self-esteem, a sense of value and
belonging, a sense of accountability, and teamwork. It’s also
a lot of fun! The skills learned in Scouting help young men
overcome obstacles and challenges with courage and character
throughout their lives.
Geocaching offers a new opportunity for the Boy Scouts to
experience the outdoors while honing their Scouting skills. This
cache is placed in honor of all young people in hopes that they
will also take this opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Please leave
appropriate "swag" for young people of all programs.
