Troop 2215 |
 |
Troop 2215
obtained its first charter in October 2007 after some
experienced Scouts and Scouters observed numerous homeschooled,
scout aged, young men were not participating in the scouting
movement. The organizers requested and received permission to
use their troop number "2215" to encourage its members to: |
|
Do
your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman
who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the
word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 |

Our charter
organization is "the Friends of Troop 2215" or the supportive
parents of the boys in the troop. |
|
The troop strives to support the homeschooling efforts of its
families and the homeschooling schedules of its families permit
the troop to participate in numerous exciting otherwise
unavailable experiences. |
|
It is an active outdoor troop and frequently gets a jump on
camping weekends by not having to wait until public school is
out. We are able to get out of town early on one Friday each
month avoiding rush hour traffic and are often able to set up
camp before it gets dark. |

|
Merit badges are self contained unit studies and many of them
are well suited to complement writing-, math- and
science-centered academics. |
|
Homeschooling dads can enjoy an active role in their sons'
educational experience here providing behind the scenes
mentoring (as Scoutmasters and Committee members) on camping and
high adventure events. They also form a support group regarding
homeschooling matters and just bringing up boys in general. |
|
The troop believes that living by the Scout Oath and Law is
conducive to maintaining a wholesome atmosphere anchored in a
Biblical world view. Troop meetings, outdoor events and
community service projects are conducted accordingly. |
