Boy Scouts

The purpose of the Boy Scout organization is to provide boys with a program that will develop desirable qualities of character. These goals are accomplished through the teaching and experiencing of both indoor and outdoor skills such as hiking trips, canoeing, touring historic sites, and traveling out East to participate in a National Jamboree. Opportunities are given to develop their leadership skills. The group is sponsored by the Volga American Legion Post.
