• We strive to be true Scout-run troop. Scout leaders plan and execute their own program, with adult leaders providing participation and support.

• Our Patrol Method is supported by the Patrol Leaders' Council which consists of the members of the Leadership Patrol (SPL, ASPL, Troop Instructor, and JASM) and the Patrol Leaders of each patrol. This group meets monthly with the Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters to plan Troop meetings and outings.

• Our Male (172B) and Female (172G) Troops are linked, and meet at the same time in different areas of St. Paul's.  Our Troops often often camp together at adjacent sites but plan and run their activities independently.

We've sent our Scouts to both Florida SeaBase, and Philmont Scout Ranch for weeks-long high adventure camps as well as frequent local camping, backpacking and whitewater weekends.

Matt led his team to build a 40 foot walkway to cover a low lying portion of the trails in the Churchville Nature Center. This aims to help accessibility to the trail when it floods due to its location which is prone to flooding. While also making sure people stay on trail, protecting the wildlife.

Stephen selected a project to improve a new "pocket" pollinator park in Warwick township.  The park off Turkey Trot and Land Rds was recently planted with hundreds of pollinator trees.  A new walking loop has being constructed in the park and Stephen and his volunteers added two new sitting benches on new concrete pads as well as other upgrades for park users.

Alex led a service project to rejuvenate a playground area at Churchville Nature Center.  During his project Alex is leading a group of scout and adult volunteers to build a climbing ramp to provide improved (and more fun) access to the children's slide and reduce erosion. They are also remaking a fossil dig area, and remove invasive plants around the playground.

Josh chose to create a prayer garden at St Joseph/St Robert School in Warrington.  Josh designed the garden and led a group of scouts and adult volunteers in the installation of the wooden border, soil, mulch, stepping stones, statue, and other elements.  Josh and his volunteers made the stepping stones and the design is based off his grandmom's Rosary.  Great job Josh!
