BSA Troop 787

Parents with Troop 787

The Boy Scouts of America has a long association with leaders and accomplished young men.

Famous Boy Scouts John F. Kennedy, President (1961-1963 ) Jim Morrison, Musician Paul McCarntney, Musician: Beatles John Schneider, Actor: Dukes of Hazzard Nolan Ryan, Professional Baseball Player Bill Gates, Founder of Microsoft

Famous Eagle Scouts Sam Walton, Founder of Wal-Mart Neil Armstrong, Astronaut Hank Aaron, Professional Baseball Player Gerald Ford, President (1974-1977) Steven Spielburg, Movie Producer Clive Cussler, Novelist, Founder of NUMA

There are of course many others but these are just an example of the types of leaders we are hoping to create.

Understanding how Troop 787 operates can help the Scout Parent know where his/her interactions can come in to play. There are several areas in which a parent can help the troop succeed. You can become part of the troop committee which helps facilitate the boy scouts in making their projects a reality. You can attend meetings, troop campouts or become a merit badge counselor.
