About Our Troop
THE TROOPTroop 315 is a High Adventure Boy Scout based in Louisville, Kentucky. Scouts participate in outdoor activites every month of the year in all types of weather conditions. Hiking, backpacking and camping are the foundation of this troop. All the necessary skills required for these activites are learned at meetings and on the trail. Adult leadership is trained to ensure a safe environment
PURPOSE
Troop 315 is dedicated to fostering the growth of boys into young men by giving them the opportunity to develop good basic values; to learn about leadership and how to be a good follower; to practice organizational skills and teamwork; to become self-reliant; and to feel the pleasure of individual accomplishment through a program of group outdoor activities.
PARENT RESPONSIBILITIES
