In Troop 336, there are two major goals in our Scouting program.

1) The Scouts should have fun while they learn the way of a Boy Scout.

2) Earn the rank of Eagle Scout before reaching their 18th birthday. 

While learning new life skills, making friends, and having fun, every Scout has their eye on the ultimate goal, that of Eagle Scout.  It's not an easy one, but one that's long and challenging.  On average, only 5% of all Scouts will ever achieve it. 

With that, Troop 336 is very proud to have had over 100 Scouts earn Scouting's highest rank over the past 60 years -  with 41 Scouts having reached this milestone since 2011.  At Troop 336, making Eagle is not a requirement, but our Scouts have come to expect it for themselves and each other.

Being an Eagle Scout is important because it requires immense hard work, dedication, and service to others. It gives teens something to strive for and instills confidence, leadership, and a commitment to the community. These skills carry into college, career, and adult life.  It is an accomplishment that stays with the Scout for the rest of their life.  Once an Eagle Scout, Always an Eagle Scout.

The Eagle Project - Final step

If you ask most Eagle Scouts, they will say that the most rewarding part of their journey toward Eagle was their Eagle Scout Service Project. It is a chance to put all of one’s Scouting training into practice in a BIG WAY! Not only will you be helping others, but you may even have the chance to put together a project that will last for many generations. 

Unfortunately, project ideas don’t always present themselves so clearly. That makes Requirement 5  the task that slows down more aspiring Eagles than any other.  Here is some inspiration!
