BSA Troop 614 - Scotts Valley, California
"Scouting" in Troop 614
The goal of our Troop is to have fun! We have found that by combining interesting and challenging trips and outings with a solid and time proven structured scouting program we can help build your son's self confidence, give him goals and enrich his values by teaching him outdoor skills related to camping, hiking, backpacking, first aid, survival training, outdoor tools, swimming, cooking and caring for the environment. We hope to assist you as parents in the personal development of your son by emphasizing physical fitness, a strong moral code, personal responsibility, commitment, loyalty, leadership, goal setting, and serving others and our community.
Learning to be a leader is also one of the pillars of the scouting program. Advancement through the scout ranks is the structured tool for facilitating this learning. Participation in monthly troop outings and other major events such as summer camp and National Jamboree offer invaluable opportunities to learn and practice the full range of scout leadership skills.
More information about our troop and what we expect from our scouts and scout parents is available on our
"Letter to Parents Page".
