Dear Troop 66 Scouts and Parents,
I trust this letter finds you well, surrounded by the spirit of camaraderie and adventure that defines Troop 66. As we embark on another exciting scouting year, I am filled with gratitude and enthusiasm for the remarkable journey that lies ahead for each and every one of our young scouts.
Troop 66 is not just a gathering of individuals; it is a community that thrives on the principles of the Scout Law and the Scout Motto. Our mission is clear: to take young adults on exhilarating scouting journeys that go beyond the ordinary. We don’t just teach scouting; we live it. Through each adventure, we aim to instill values that will serve as a compass for a lifetime.
Our troop is a crucible of experiences, offering extensive opportunities for both adventure and life skill development. Whether it’s honing survival skills in the great outdoors or learning the intricacies of teamwork through troop activities, Troop 66 is a laboratory for leadership and personal growth.
Scouts in Troop 66 lead from the front. In every aspect of our troop’s activities, they take the helm, steering our ship towards success. Leadership roles and focused training are not mere obligations; they are opportunities for our scouts to sharpen their leadership skills, to learn the art of decision-making, and to foster the qualities that will set them apart as leaders of tomorrow.
Behind every successful troop are dedicated and registered scout leaders who provide the necessary support and encouragement. These leaders are not just mentors; they are guides who offer wings to our young adults, empowering them to soar to new heights. As a troop master, I am privileged to witness the transformation of our scouts into confident and capable leaders, ready to make a positive impact on the world.
I encourage both scouts and parents to actively participate in the Troop 66 experience. Our troop is not just a scouting group; it is a family that thrives on the involvement of each member. Together, let us continue to uphold the values that define us and create a legacy of leadership that will inspire generations to come.
Here’s to a year filled with adventure, growth, and the indomitable spirit of Troop 66!
Yours in Scouting,
William Moran
Troop Master, Troop 66
