High Adventure
Troop 12 offers older scouts an opportunity to attend each of the BSA's national high-adventure bases. Philmont Scout Ranch in 2022, Florida Sea Base in 2023 and Northern Tier High Adventure Base in 2024.
Community Service
Troop 12 participates in community service all through the year. Scouts learn valuable lessons that help them live by the Scout Oath and Scout Law. We take part in ceremonies to honor our veterans, collect supplies for those in need, work on projects to beautify our community or better our environment, just to name a few.
Merit Badges
Troop 12 scouts are able to earn merit badges in a variety of ways, not just at summer camp or through Council or District events. Many of our leaders our merit badge counselors and offer programs all year long.
