Welcome to Troop 851
Welcome to the website of Troop 851, Boy Scouts of America,
Ellicott City, Maryland. We're a "Boy Run" troop, employing
the qualities and ideals found in the BSA program to build character,
foster citizenship, develop leadership, commitment to community,
and appreciation for the outdoors. The best definition of Scouting
is found in the three points of the Boy Scout Oath, symbolized
by the three fingers of the scout sign. Each point of this oath
defines one of the fundamental duties of a Scout: Duty To God,
Duty To Other People, and Duty To Myself.
The Three Aims of the Scouting Program are:
1. To build character
2. To foster citizenship
3. To develop fitness
The Eight Methods Used to achieve these
three aims are:
1. The Ideals: Found in the scout oath and law, motto, slogan.
2. The Patrol Method: Where boys discover a mini-democracy in
action.
3. The Outdoor Program: The wonderful and precious laboratory
where scouts learn by doing.
4. Advancement: Skill training and independent study.
5. Personal Growth: A scout's collective experiences.
6. Adult Association: Building positive role models for our youth.
7. Leadership Development: A BOY-RUN PROGRAM like ours makes this
happen
8. The Uniform: To create a sense of belonging and pride.
