Be Prepared. For Life.
Scouts BSA and Troop 28
Troop 28 is one of the oldest and most active BSA Troops in Mt. Lebanon Pennsylvania. We are a boy-led troop, meaning that the boys are trained to be leaders under the direction, coaching, and training of the troop leaders and adults.
We meet every Tuesday night from 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM at the Bower Hill Community Church. Boys can join a Scout troop who have earned the Arrow of Light rank and are at least 10 years old, or have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10, or who are 11, but not yet 18 years old. We encourage anyone younger to join Pack 28, our feeder pack.
WHO WE ARE
Since 1910, Scouting has helped mold the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes and, through nearly a century of experience, understands that helping youth puts us on a path toward a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
SCOUT OATH
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
And to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
Mentally awake, and morally straight.
SCOUT LAW
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
