Scouting's Promise to Every Scout

    Every Scout, Scouter and adult volunteer in Troop4 is dedicated to
    fullfilling Scouting's promise for every Scout in our Troop.

SCOUTING promises you the great outdoors.  As a Scout, you can learn
how to camp and hike without leaving a trace and how to take care of
the land.  You'll study wildlife up close and learn about nature all around
you.  There are plenty of skills for you to master, and you can teach
others what you have learned.  Everyong helping everyone else - that's
part of Scouting, too.

SCOUTING promises you friendship.  Members of the troop you join
might be boys you already know, and you will meet many other Scouts
along the way.  Some could become lifelong friends.

SCOUTING promises you opprotunities to work toward the Eagle
Scout rank.  You will set positive goals for yourself and then follow clear
routes to achieve them.

SCOUTING promises you tools to help you make the most of your
family, your community,and your nation.  The good deeds you perform
every day will improve the lives of those around you.  You will be pre-
pared to help others in time of need.

SCOUTING promises you experiences and duites that will help you
mature into a strong, wise adult.  The Scout Oath and the Scout Law can
guide you as a Scout and throughout your life.
