In the Boy Scout program, boys learn 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.

Parents, give your son a valuable gift by encouraging him to join Boy Scouting today. The time you invest in him today will make a difference in the person he becomes tomorrow.

 

JUNIOR LEADER TRAINING

Roughly every year or 18 months Troop 135 holds a session of Junior Leader Training for our Scouts. This full-day course held at our Prince of Peace church location is intended for Scouts, usually at the First Class rank, who have become Patrol Leaders or Assistant Patrol Leaders or hold other Troop leadership roles. Troop 135 Adult Leaders teach the Scouts about skills such as team building, effective listening, co-operation, planning, decision making, influencing others, problem solving and conflict resolution. Skills like these are useful for boys when they are in leadership roles, both in the Troop and outside of Scouts. The course uses video segments, interactive games, team problem challenges and group discussion to create a varied and interesting learning experience.

Please contact Alex Makai, Troop 135 Training Coordinator, if you'd like more information.
