Troop 332 Mission Statement

    Troop 332 stands for scouting the way it is intended to be;  the way it should be.  It is not a baby-sitting service for the luxury of parents;  nor is it a practice meeting of the local basketball team;  nor a factory meant to dole out advancements and merit badges as regularly and in as great a number as possible.

    Instead, it is a training ground where boys grow into men.  In Troop 332 it is not important how many merit badges you earn, but how you earn them -- it is far more important to develop your skills and acquire knowledge than to simply acquire a piece of fabric.  Troop 332 is a family that helps you to learn and grow, helps you to take responsibility for yourself and for others.
    Troop 332 is about acquiring skills -- learning things that are of value to an individual in his adult life -- things such as survival, knot tying, first aid and physical fitness.

    But most importantly it is about acquiring character.  It is about reverence, citizenship and honesty, generosity and integrity, loyalty and leadership.
