 Serving youth since 1923, the Winooski Scouts offer exciting, adventure based programs for boys 6th grade and up. We meet at 6:30 on Wednesday nights at Saint Francis Xavier School. Visit us and see for yourself what a difference you can make in the life of a young man.
Yes, I want to join the Boy Scouts!!!
Boy Scouting and the Spirit of Adventure
Many prominent American men in business, the professions and government have backgrounds as Boy Scouts. The American space program is a case in point. Of the 312 pilots and scientists selected as astronauts since 1959, 180 were Scouts. Of the 12 men to walk on the surface of the moon, 11 were Scouts. The first human to set foot on the moon, Neil A. Armstrong, was an Eagle Scout.
Making a Difference
"When people see a boy in a scout uniform, they expect someone of good character, who is prepared to the best of his ability and ready to help those around him"
