We at Troop 121 believe a boy must grow and develop in a positive environment, and we feel Scouting encourages his accomplishments and praises his goals and achievements. We feel a boy comes to us in the early stage of complete dependency and emerges as self dependent young man. We have put together a New Scout's Buyer's Guide on some equipment needed for scouting. Just click on this link to goto the New Scout's Buyer's Guide.

Here are ways you can use the Scouting program to help your son grow and develop:

 

	Encourage your son to attend all troop meetings, Courts of Honor, and troop activities
	Be interested and encourage advancement
	Be involved in his troop as an active parent participant
	Attend all troop Courts of Honor, family outings and fundraising activities

We strive to make Scouting an exciting experience and an experience you and your son will look back on with fond memories. For further information, please review this guidebook.
