AOL Scouts Visits...
Is it time to start scheduling troop visits for your AOL Scouts? Interested in learning more about Troop 435? We'd love to show you what our Troop has to offer. Den leaders and parents are welcome to contact us for additional information on attending a Troop meeting or event.
New Scouts...

Welcome to Scouts BSA!
If you are coming from Cub Scouts, the big differences are the scouts run the troop meetings and outings, not the adults, and each scout chooses their own level of participation in the troop, not a den leader. You also work at your own rate of rank advancement.
As with many things in life, you get out of Scouting what you put into it, so we encourage you to be active within the troop by attending meetings and outings and to be proactive in working on requirements for rank advancement and earning merit badges.
