About
Scout Troop 586 is a year round program for boys and girls ages 11 - 17 and Cub Scout Pack 586 is for boys and girls in grades k- 5 in southern Jefferson County area of New York State. Our mission is to provide opportunities for our scouts to explore the World, strengthen their character, improve fitness and build good citizenship in their community. We accomplish this through fun, exciting outdoor activities.
Fun
What type of fun do you like to have? Our scouts participate in activities like fishing, camping, hiking, biking, downhill skiing, canoeing, kayaking, and rock climbing. You are encouraged to explore the things you think might be fun! Many of our scouts have earned merit badges in rifle, shotgun and archery. Swimming, first aid, life saving are some other merit badges our scouts earned
Leadership
Scout Troops are scout led! Adult leadership provides guidance and direction but we let the scouts, within their abilities, plan and lead our program. We believe it is important for scouts to build confidence and knowledge by testing their skiills and sometimes this includes failure. We encourage our scouts to participate in scouting leadership development outside of our troop too.
