Welcome to Boy Scout Troop 30
Boy Scouting is a place where fun, challenge, growth and development take place. Boy Scout Troop 30 is carrying on the BSA tradition and philosophy of outdoor programs with a Scout-led Troop. The aims of the Boy Scouts are character development, citizenship training and personal fitness for Scouts.
Who can join Scouting?
Any boy between the ages of 11 and 17, or who have earned the Arrow of Light award in Cub Scouts, or who have completed the fifth grade.
How do I sign my son up in Scouting?
Joining Troop 30 is easy. We encourage you and your son to visit our meetings, held on Monday nights between 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM at the Buffalo Valley Youth Association Office located at 401 Oak St. across from Corbett Middle School. When you arrive, say hello to any of our adult leaders, we'll be glad to introduce ourselves, and get you and your son introduced to other members of the troop. This will give you a chance to ask questions, and we can also give you as much information as you want about our troop and our program. Feel free to visit as many times as you like.
If you decide that Troop 30 is the troop for your son, return the application we will give you, along with the minimal fees necessary to register him in Scouting. We also encourage the parents of Scouts to register and become active in the troop. It has been shown many, many times that the boys whose parents are active stay active longer, achieve higher rank, and generally have more fun in Scouting. There are a number of ways a parent can be active and be a part of the Scouting experience with your son! There is also an application and small fee associated with joining as an adult. We'll be glad to explain it all. That's all there is to it!
Feel free to email with any questions you may have.
