  • Guide to Scouting
    Troop 1776 Guide to Scouting Foothills District - Atlanta Area Council Boy Scouts of America www.Troop1776.org Sponsored by: Knights of Columbus Council # 8376, Catholic Church of St. Ann Marietta, GA 30062 Welcome To Troop 1776! Thank you for joining Troop 1776. As your participation in Troop meetings, activities and events increases, you will note the significant difference between the Boy Scout program, and the Cub Scout program you left behind. Unlike Cub Scouts, Boy Scout activities are entirely planned and led by the boys themselves. Adult supervision, for the purpose of safety and support, is always close at hand, but it is the boys themselves who are in charge of our Troop program. Scouting is all about leadership, and our Scouts are offered many opportunities to learn new skills, realize their own potential, and accept increasingly important responsibilities and leadership roles within the Troop. Our Scouting program is a team effort, and your son will have support and encouragement from Troop leadership and his peers, however, it is the personal responsibility of every Scout to seize the initiative and actively participate in our program to achieve his rank and leadership goals. Like Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting is a fun program for boys, but it can also be rewarding for our parents as well. Although the role of parents is quite different in Boy Scouting, Troop 1776 would not exist as a quality unit without the support and active participation of our parents in the life and operation of our Troop. Parents who wish to partner in their son’s Scouting adventure are most welcome to do so.
