Why Scouting ?

For more than 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. For additional details about how scouting is changing lives, please read the "Why Scouting" page.

Why Troop 19 ?

With over 50 active Scouts, Troop 19 offers young women year-round opportunities for adventure, personal growth, advancement, and service to the community. For additional details on Troop 19 and contact information please visit "Why Troop 19 ?" . Troop 19 has produced 15 Eagle Scouts so far and is proud of their achievements.

This past weekend, many scouts attended the June campout at Camp Musser. The scouts hiked 6 miles, partly in preparation for Philmont next summer for some. Everyone had a great time, playing games, building fires, and performing skits. Even with the challenging weather and rain, scouts had a great time. Thank you to all that participated!

Ellie's Eagle Scout Project

When: June 8 - July 13, Sundays 1-2:30 PM

Where: @Sheridan Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Vauxhall, NJ

My qualifications: I have been training in BJJ for 3 years, one of the most widely regarded martial arts that are effective for self-defense. I am a blue belt and work as a kids' coach at Sheridan. I have competed in several tournaments and love teaching others.

All classes will have adult supervision and access to a first aid kit for safety. We will cover fundamental movements in BJJ, as well as techniques for addressing certain situations, such as being pushed to the ground or grabbed from behind.

I am motivated by a desire to equip girls with the skills and confidence to defend themselves, especially as they prepare to go to college and enter the real world as young women. I believe that self defense is something everyone should learn if they are able to, as it can provide a sense of safety and empower them to protect themselves and others in dangerous situations. Sign up using the link or QR code below, and please encourage your friends to do the same. Spots are limited!

Finally, if you are willing and able, please consider donating to my project! Funds will go towards the cost of the program, so any donations would be greatly appreciated. You can donate using venmo.

Caroline's Eagle Scout Project

Please see message below from Caroline Desoe about her Eagle Scout Project :

I am a Life Scout with BSA Troop 345 in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and I'm raising funds for my Eagle Project.

My project benefits The Anchor Center for Blind Children which provides early education and intervention services for children from birth to five years old who are blind or visually impaired. I will be renovating Anchor Center's reading room so it is more functional for students and teachers. I'm seeking donations to purchase the supplies, materials, and tools needed to demolish existing structures, repair and paint walls, and build and install bookshelves.

Thank you for your consideration and support!

Thank you.

Caroline
