Youth can join Scouts BSA if they are at least 10 years old, currently in the fifth grade and register on or after March 1st; OR have earned the Arrow of Light Award (from Cub Scouts) and are at least 10 years old, OR are age 11 but have not reached age 18.
Troop 92 holds weekly scout meetings at the St. Anne's church parish hall located at 20 Boston Road in Southborough. Weekend camping events are scheduled for each month of the school year (September through June weather permitting). There are also weeklong camping adventures in July (at Yawgoog Scout Reservation in Hopkinton, RI) and a weeklong canoe trip in August.
Troop 92 recognizes that families and Scouts lead busy lives with many responsibilities and time commitments outside of scouting. We are accommodating to the Scout's school, sports, or other commitments by trying to be as flexible as possible with the Scout's participation. Attendance at meetings and camping events is not mandatory but is encouraged so that the youth has an opportunity for their best possible Scouting experience,
At minimum, each Scout will need a uniform and a handbook. Additional supplies and equipment may be needed for certain activities such as camping trips or field days. What equipment is needed, as well as whether it will be provided by the unit, will vary. Our adult leaders provide parents with information about any supplies that will be required at the beginning of each program year.
Express your interest to the Troop 92 adult leadership - Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster. There are always volunteering opportunities for parents to support the troop including becoming an Assistant Scoutmaster.
Being a good Scout leader requires more than knowing how to camp. However, the Scouting program does provide outdoor training classes for leaders with beginning, intermediate, and advanced outdoor skills. Further, many of the Troop 92 leaders has extensive experience with camping and outdoor skills and are very willing to share their knowledge.
