A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean and reverent.
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.

This is our troop's 44th year in scouting. Each year our troop grows
in membership, activities and friendship. This year promises to be a
great one. Our Troop will have one senior patrol and
additional patrols yet to be determined. A Leadership Corps will also be formed and will be
responsible for planning all Troop meetings and activities.
Interested in joining Troop 20/20? Whether you're a Cub Scout looking
to move up to Boy Scouts or new to scouting, please
contact us or stop by a meeting.
Troop 20/20 has developed the following "Ten Commitments"
as guidelines for our scouts to follow in and out of the troop.
Troop 20/20 Ten Commitments
-
I
will strive to live up to the ideals of the Scout Oath and Scout Law,
practice the scout slogan and embrace the scout motto.
-
I
will
continuously look for opportunities to provide cheerful service for all
that I come in contact with. This
includes being the first to volunteer when needed and never being the
last.
-
I
will
make eye contact when spoken to, speak with the sufficient volume to be
heard and provide a coherent response.
-
I
will
be considerate of other people’s feelings and sensitive to their needs. This will be accomplished by always asking myself; “How would I
like to be treated in this situation?"
-
I
will
respect the scout uniform, wearing it proudly and wear troop 2020 attire
where appropriate. This includes
all scout related activities and while traveling.
-
I
will
not be rude to fellow scouts, adult leaders or others in the community. I will not use inappropriate language, be late to scout functions
or ignore scout and adult leadership directions. Being respectful includes not harming fellow scouts (hands off)
or animals and plants in the environment.
-
I
will
learn and practice all the skills that scouting has introduced me to.
-
I
will respect the property of others, troop equipment and community
property. I will also take
responsibility for all of my personal gear and not blame others for
losing track of it whereabouts.
-
I
will never use the words “I can’t”, “it’s not my job” or “I don’t want
to”.
-
Becoming an Eagle Scout that my troop can be
proud of is my ultimate goal.
